From the 1,200-car Broc Rétro in Bazas to the antique dealers' fair in Sare: eleven flea markets to explore across New Aquitaine on July 25-26, 2026.
This July 25-26 weekend piles two hunting seasons onto one map of New Aquitaine. In Bazas, engines roar for the region's biggest vintage rally, with 1,200 old cars filling the streets and a flea market riding in their wake. In Sare, professional antique dealers take over one of France's prettiest villages. Need to save your euros? Head to Lagruère, where a "gratiferia" lets you take items home for free. Eleven stops make up our pick for July 25-26, spanning grand fairs and small village finds.
Broc Rétro du Bazadais, 1,200 vintage cars take over Bazas (Gironde)
On Sunday July 26, Place des Tilleuls in Bazas hosts the Broc Rétro du Bazadais, riding on the coattails of the Rétro Mobile show, which brings more than 1,200 vintage cars and 400 old motorbikes into the town's streets. The flea market rides that wave with a wide bargain hunt of its own.
More than 28,000 visitors are expected over the day, a rare figure for a regional flea market. Entry is free. Good for anyone who enjoys hunting old furniture as much as admiring vintage bodywork along the way.
Grande Foire Antiquités Brocante de Sare, professionals take over the Basque Country (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)
Saturday July 25 and Sunday July 26, the village square and the Lur Berri hall in Sare host the Grande Foire Antiquités Brocante. About a hundred professional antique dealers set up for two days in this Labourdine village, ranked among the prettiest in France.
Basque furniture, folk art and period pieces make up a tightly curated offer, far from generic bric-a-brac. Best for buyers after serious pieces, with the village architecture and mountain surroundings thrown in.
Foire à la Brocante et Vide-Greniers d'Argentat-sur-Dordogne, 150 sellers by the river (Corrèze)
On Sunday July 26, Place Joseph Faure and the surrounding streets of Argentat-sur-Dordogne gather more than 150 sellers for the Foire à la Brocante et Vide-Greniers. Professional dealers, craft stalls and private sellers mix together in this town set on the banks of the Dordogne.
The event draws hunters and collectors from across the Corrèze. A well-rounded outing that suits families out for a stroll as much as collectors chasing a specific find.
15th Folle Brocante des Borderies, 320 sellers and 10,000 visitors in Louzac-Saint-André (Charente)
On Sunday July 26, the football stadium and Place des Borderies in Louzac-Saint-André host the 15th Folle Brocante des Borderies. Around 320 sellers and more than 10,000 visitors are expected over this open-air day of hunting.
Only second-hand goods from private sellers and professionals are allowed, no new stock or counterfeits. A generous format that has grown, year after year, into one of the Charente's big summer fixtures.
Vide-Grenier des 24h de la Barque, hunting by the water in Saint-Hilaire-la-Palud (Deux-Sèvres)
On Sunday July 26, the 24-hour race grounds on chemin du Grand Port in Saint-Hilaire-la-Palud host the Vide-Grenier des 24h de la Barque. The sale runs alongside the well-known endurance race in traditional flat-bottomed boats, organised by the Conches & Rigoles association.
Few settings capture the Marais Poitevin quite like this one: boats, canals and flea stalls sit side by side, 500 metres past the bridge. A gem for anyone after a relaxed hunt paired with unexpected boat racing.
Grand Vide-Greniers du Comité des Fêtes, all of Rochechouart turns into one big market (Haute-Vienne)
On Saturday July 25, the town centre of Rochechouart becomes one large open-air flea market for the Grand Vide-Greniers run by the local fêtes committee. Professional dealers and private sellers fill the historic streets of this sub-prefecture, overlooked by its medieval castle.
The day wraps up with a flower-decorated wheelbarrow contest, a local touch that sets it apart from standard flea markets. Good for pairing hunting with heritage and a contemporary art museum rarely found in a rural town.
Vide-Grenier de Tournon-d'Agenais, hunting on a hilltop bastide in full fête (Lot-et-Garonne)
Saturday July 25 and Sunday July 26, the village and the car park on Route de Libos in Tournon-d'Agenais host a flea market tied to the town's big annual fête. It runs alongside the Rues en Fête festivities, with clearance sales, games, dancing and a craft market.
The medieval bastide, perched on its hilltop, offers a view well beyond what a standard flea market delivers. Worth pairing with a wander through the lanes for anyone visiting Lot-et-Garonne this summer.
Potters and Fire Arts Market, craftspeople and blacksmiths in medieval Crocq (Creuse)
Saturday July 25 and Sunday July 26, the town centre of Crocq brings together potters, glassblowers, cutlers and blacksmiths for the Potters and Fire Arts Market. The fair celebrates age-old fire-related crafts in this medieval town in the Creuse.
Shared meals, a traditional ball and horse-drawn carriage rides round out the weekend. A gem for anyone who prefers handmade craft to plain second-hand hunting, between visits to nearby Limousin villages.
Gratiferia in Lagruère, take it for free at the Tonneinquais recycling centre (Lot-et-Garonne)
On Sunday July 26, the Recyclerie Éco du Tonneinquais runs its Gratiferia at Lamarque, in the village of Lagruère. The idea: take what's on offer for free, and leave a donation only if you feel like it.
A raffle, live music and maker stalls fill out this reuse-focused day, free entry all day long. A different kind of hunting from a standard flea market, for anyone happy to leave the wallet at home.
Livres en Liberté, a charity book market in Brantôme (Dordogne)
On Sunday July 26, from 10am to 6pm, the Jardin des Moines in Brantôme-en-Périgord hosts Livres en Liberté. The Lecture en Val de Dronne association sells second-hand books, magazines and catalogues donated by local residents.
Proceeds go toward fighting illiteracy in the region. A gem for book lovers, steps from the Benedictine abbey and its gardens, in one of the Périgord Vert's most visited villages.
Vide-Grenier des Fêtes de Montfort-en-Chalosse, flea market meets the patron saint's fête (Landes)
On Saturday July 25, the town centre of Montfort-en-Chalosse hosts a flea market organised by the Montfort mon Choix traders' association, right in the middle of the village's patron saint's fête.
Streets fill with hunters and festival-goers enjoying the local party atmosphere. A Chalosse gem for anyone keen to combine flea-market hunting with village fête entertainment, between Dax and Mont-de-Marsan.
