Yvetot's two-day flea market, Barneville-Carteret turns 21: Normandy, July 25-26

By Christophe Contard — Éditeur web indépendant

A two-day flea market in Yvetot, the 21st car boot sale in Barneville-Carteret: eleven hunting picks across Normandy for the weekend of July 25-26, 2026.

This weekend of July 25-26, Normandy is not just a coastline story. Yvetot, in the pays de Caux, runs its monthly flea market over two full days. Five village car boot sales fill the Orne on the same Sunday. And a Cotentin classic marks a round anniversary without much fuss.

Where to go hunting this July 25-26 in Normandy? Our pick is Yvetot, where the Multimuneris flea market stretches across the whole weekend, a format rarely seen on the regional calendar.

But the choice stays wide open. From Deauville's antique dealers to the Orne villages, by way of Rouen's weekend market. Eleven stops to follow across Calvados, Eure, Manche, Orne and Seine-Maritime.

Multimuneris flea market, two full days in Yvetot (Seine-Maritime)

Our pick of the weekend. The Multimuneris association runs its monthly flea market on the Champ de foire, 4 rue de la Brême. The July edition spreads across the whole weekend, from Saturday July 25 to Sunday July 26, 2026.

Two full days of hunting: a rarity on the Norman calendar, where most dates last a single day. Private sellers and professional dealers take turns on the fairground over 48 hours.

Yvetot, the capital of the pays de Caux, is also worth a look for its architecture and religious heritage once the hunting is done. A monthly date whose July edition uses the full weekend to draw a wider crowd than usual.

21st Barneville-Carteret car boot sale (Manche)

On Sunday July 26, this seaside town on the west coast of the Cotentin marks the 21st edition of its car boot sale. Around 300 sellers are expected, a figure that puts this date among the busiest of the weekend.

Barneville-Carteret also serves as a gateway to the Channel Islands. Hunters often cross paths with holidaymakers heading off to Jersey or Guernsey, giving the market an unusual mix of crowds.

Twenty-one years of continuity for the same event is rare in this business: most car boot sales change name or organiser within a few seasons. This one built its reputation over time, never aiming bigger than its natural size.

Deauville's monthly professional flea market (Calvados)

Right in the centre of Deauville, the professional flea market takes over the Square de l'Église Saint-Augustin. It runs on Saturday July 25, the fourth Saturday of the month. Run by Vbuffard Organisations, it brings together antique dealers and professional sellers only, from 8am to 6pm.

Antique furniture, paintings, jewellery, chandeliers, books, knick-knacks, old linen and earthenware: the selection targets a knowing crowd rather than casual hunters. No amateur car boot sale here, only vetted professionals.

Deauville needs no introduction as a seaside resort. Its monthly flea market rides on this steady flow of visitors to keep going all year. That holds even in high summer, when the town runs at full capacity.

Blonville-sur-Mer car boot sale (Calvados)

On Saturday July 25, this annual July date fills rue Marcelle Haricot and rue Henry Millet. Around 200 private sellers offer clothes, toys, furniture, dishes, books and knick-knacks, from 8am to 6pm.

Pitches cost 20 euros for six metres for residents, 25 euros for non-residents, proof of address required. Entry stays free for visitors.

Blonville-sur-Mer, a Côte Fleurie resort between Deauville and Villers-sur-Mer, banks on this simple, family-friendly format for the middle of summer. A straightforward date, no frills, for a few finds before heading to the beach.

Brionne flea market, deep in summer (Eure)

On Saturday July 25, at Place de la Mairie, this medieval town in the Risle valley hosts its summer flea market. Private sellers and professional dealers set up for a day of hunting.

The 11th-century keep overlooking the town gives this event an unusual backdrop, between the Risle river and wooded hills. Few Norman flea markets get to work against such an old setting.

Brionne banks on this contrast between medieval heritage and popular hunting to draw regulars and passing visitors alike, for one summer Saturday in the valley.

Bizou car boot sale (Orne)

This village in the Perche hills of the Orne sets up its annual car boot sale behind the village hall, at 4 rue Saint-Blaise. It runs on Sunday July 26. Between 100 and 200 sellers, private and professional, are expected from 7am to 5pm.

The local festival committee runs free entry, with food and drinks on site. Nothing flashy, a simple format that works year after year.

The Perche hills host several similar dates the same Sunday, but Bizou stands out for a comfortable range of sellers for a town this size.

Bellou-en-Houlme car boot sale (Orne)

Head to La Chevallerie, a hamlet in this Orne farmland town, for the car boot sale run by the Brocante de Bellou association. It also takes place on Sunday July 26. From 7am to 6pm, at 2 euros per linear metre.

Food and drinks round out the programme, with no other entertainment announced. A simple pricing scheme, no complicated booking, for sellers who mostly come from the surrounding farmland.

This Sunday, the Orne farmland hosts several dates of the same kind. Bellou-en-Houlme banks on proximity rather than on the number of sellers.

Regnéville-sur-Mer all-collections fair (Manche)

On Saturday July 25, the village hall of this coastal town in the southern Manche hosts the all-collections fair. The Arts et Loisirs en Sienne association runs it.

Minerals, fossils, stamps, fèves, postcards, enamel signs, haberdashery, old paper: that is already a rich mix. Coins, sculptures, old books, records, electric trains, pin badges, perfume bottles and cameras round out the list, well beyond a general car boot sale.

This specialised format draws collectors rather than casual hunters. An alternative for anyone after something other than furniture or second-hand clothes this weekend.

Verrières flea market, hunting and fireworks (Orne)

On Sunday July 26, the Verrières flea market fills the village in this Perche town of the Orne. It is part of the village festival, with free pitches and no booking needed.

Food stalls and entertainment run through the day of hunting. The festival carries on into the evening with a torchlight procession, followed by fireworks at 10:30pm.

Few Norman flea markets end with fireworks the same night. It turns a simple hunting outing into a full day, from early morning to nightfall.

Chéronvilliers car boot sale (Eure)

On the edge of the Norman farmland and the Perche hills, this village in the Pays d'Ouche hosts its annual car boot sale. It falls on Sunday July 26.

Dishes, clothes, toys, tools and various items fill this day of countryside clearance sale, held in the southern Eure, away from the main roads.

A modest rural date, much like many Norman village fairs that carry on for years on the loyalty of local residents alone. Organisers stay quiet on expected numbers, a sign of an event built for the neighbourhood rather than for a wide audience.

Place Saint-Marc flea market, Rouen (Seine-Maritime)

Friday, Saturday and Sunday, meaning July 24, 25 and 26, Place Saint-Marc runs one of the most regular flea markets in Normandy. Three days running, every single week.

Vintage furniture, retro clothing, vinyl records, old jewellery and knick-knacks of every kind make up most of the stalls. The weekly format makes it a safe bet for anyone with no plan at all.

A stone's throw from the cathedral, regular hunters and dealers cross paths in an atmosphere kept the same for years. No need to wait for a set date: this market comes back, week after week.

Eleven stops, five departments, and no two programmes alike. Between Barneville-Carteret's big numbers, Yvetot's two-day marathon and the Orne's quiet car boot sales, where do you even start? Normandy leaves plenty of choice this July 25-26.
