Where to hunt near Paris on July 4-5? Tigery, Leuville and 8 more summer flea markets

First weekend of July, first big open-air sales of high summer: on Saturday July 4 and Sunday July 5, 2026, the Paris region shifts into holiday mode. And this time it is the southern outer ring that leads the way. Essonne in particular lines up a string of giant annual flea markets, making the most of the long days and the first holiday departures. From the fairgrounds of the Orge valley to the banks of the Seine, hunters are spoilt for choice.

My tip for the weekend: aim for the Essonne heavyweights. The Tigery sale and its 500 sellers, and the Leuville braderie with its 400 stalls, are worth the trip on their own. For a change of register, the Georges-Brassens book market and the night flea market of the 5th arrondissement offer two very different Parisian moods. Here is the round-up of ten dates, from the open-air giant to the village gem.

Tigery Flea Market, 500 sellers at the peak of summer (Essonne)

Sunday July 5, the Tigery flea market and car boot sale rolls out its aisles on avenue des Fossés Neufs, from 5 am to 6 pm. Run by EVEN PLUS, it gathers around 500 sellers each summer: private individuals, professional dealers, associations and locals all mixed together.

It is the biggest sale in the Paris region this weekend, one of the major summer events in the south of Essonne and the Brie. At that scale you find everything: antique furniture, crockery, clothes, toys, vinyl, tools and bric-a-brac by the cartload. Free entry. Come early, with good shoes and a big bag: with 500 stalls, a whole morning is barely enough to cover the ground. A classic way to kick off July on the right foot.

Leuville-sur-Orge giant braderie, up to 400 stalls (Essonne)

Also on Sunday July 5, the fairgrounds of Leuville-sur-Orge, on boulevard du Téméraire, host the Grande Brocante Braderie run by WILL-DANIEL Organisation. From 6 am to 6 pm, up to 400 private and professional sellers set up here.

The second heavyweight of the Orge valley this weekend, only a few kilometres from Tigery: the two combine easily in a single day for keen hunters. The braderie format is all about bargains and variety — furniture, decor, clothes, books, toys and curiosities spread over a wide area. Stall rate from 8.50 € per metre, four-metre minimum. One of the great classics of summer hunting in the south of the Paris region, in a friendly, down-to-earth atmosphere.

Georges-Brassens Book Market, 60 booksellers under the hall (Paris 15th)

Saturday July 4 and Sunday July 5, as every weekend, the Georges-Brassens Antique and Second-hand Book Market opens from 9 am to 6 pm, at 104 rue Brancion, under the magnificent former horse hall of the Georges-Brassens park.

A Paris institution, this market brings together some sixty professional booksellers offering antique books, second-hand titles, rare editions, prints and old papers. It is the essential date for bibliophiles, collectors and the simply curious who come to dig through the crates in search of a first edition or a forgotten poster. The listed hall and the leafy park setting, in the 15th, make for a pleasant outing even in the heat. A literary interlude that breaks from the big open-air sales and lets you hunt in the shade all weekend.

La Belle Brocante de La Ferté-Alais, hunting in a medieval town (Essonne)

Sunday July 5, the first Sunday of the month, the Belle Brocante Vide-Grenier takes over the historic heart of La Ferté-Alais. Run by BROC ÉVÉNEMENTS, it gathers 150 sellers from 5 am to 4 pm, private and professional alike.

The setting makes the difference: you hunt through the lanes of a medieval town, at the gateway to the Gâtinais forest and not far from the Cerny aerodrome, famous for its air shows. Furniture, antiques, crockery, books and bric-a-brac are unpacked in the atmosphere of a southern Essonne village. A human-scale format, ideal for those who want to avoid the crush of the very big sales while enjoying a heritage setting. Combine it with a stroll through the old town. Free entry.

The Football Flea Market of Ussy-sur-Marne, 150 stalls at the stadium (Seine-et-Marne)

Saturday July 4, US Changis, the local football club, runs the Grande Brocante du Football at the D. Offroy municipal stadium, chemin de Laval in Ussy-sur-Marne. From 6 am to 6 pm, nearly 150 sellers take their places on the pitches and surrounds.

It is one of the big summer events in the north of Seine-et-Marne, and a chance to hunt on Saturday for those not free on Sunday. Put on by the club's volunteers, the event mixes private car-boot stalls and dealer stands, with catering and a bar on site to make the day last. Furniture, crockery, toys, clothes and objects of all kinds change hands in a friendly, community spirit. A good way to support an amateur club while you hunt.

Mandres-les-Roses Summer Brocante, hunting in rose country (Val-de-Marne)

Sunday July 5, the village of Mandres-les-Roses runs its Summer Brocante, on rue Auguste Dupin, in the heart of the village. Co-organised by the town hall and Romuald Brocante, this open-air hunting day is a long-standing summer date for locals and their neighbours.

Mandres-les-Roses owes its name to its tradition of rose growing, which lends this country car-boot sale a particular charm. Private sellers and dealers unpack their finds in a relaxed village atmosphere, away from the bustle of the big sales. Furniture, crockery, clothes, toys and antiques await hunters. Free entry. A human-scale date in the south-east of Val-de-Marne, perfect for a quiet Sunday morning and some genuine bargains.

Porte de Montreuil Flea Market, 300 dealers all weekend (Paris 20th)

Saturday July 4 and Sunday July 5, the Porte de Montreuil Flea Market holds its big session on avenue du Professeur-André-Lemierre, on the edge of the 20th arrondissement. Around 300 sellers set out their stalls on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

A Paris institution since the 19th century, more popular and less touristy than Saint-Ouen, the Montreuil flea market remains the kingdom of dig-through hunting. Bargain vintage clothing, bric-a-brac, used tools, crockery, books and curiosities pile up here: an old-school format for those who like rummaging through stacks rather than browsing polished stalls. It is also the only real flea market in this selection open all weekend, reached directly by metro 9. A landmark for hunting without leaving Paris, from Saturday morning.

The solidarity car-boot sale of the Amelior resourcerie, in Bobigny (Seine-Saint-Denis)

Saturday July 4, as every Saturday morning, the Amelior Recyclerie resourcerie opens its big car-boot sale at 45 rue de Paris, in Bobigny. The association, reached by metro, gathers up to 150 sellers.

A pioneer of the solidarity second-hand trade, Amelior campaigns for recognition of the biffins (street recyclers) and gives this market a militant as much as a commercial dimension. You hunt in a popular, committed atmosphere, far from the hushed codes of antique-dealer fairs. Clothes, everyday objects, salvaged furniture, crockery and bric-a-brac at rock-bottom prices: this is the address of resourcefulness and reuse in Seine-Saint-Denis. A useful, endearing weekly date, worth the trip for its spirit as much as its prices. Ideal for responsible hunting from Saturday morning.

The night car-boot sale of the 5th arrondissement, hunting in the cool (Paris 5th)

Saturday July 4, the first Saturday of the month, the Heureux comme le 5 association runs its night car-boot sale on rue Saint-Jacques, between rue Gay-Lussac and place Alphonse Laveran. From 3 pm to 10 pm, the street goes pedestrian and fills with 100 % local stalls.

Here is a rare and welcome format in high summer: hunting in the late afternoon and evening, in the cool, once the heat drops. Reserved for local residents, this neighbourhood sale blends car-boot stalls, street-food stands and a festive mood into the night. You unearth clothes, books, records, toys and everyday objects in a street-party atmosphere, a stone's throw from the Panthéon and the Sorbonne. An original outing to discover the Latin Quarter differently, and to hunt after a day that was too hot. Free entry.

The Seine Riverside Brocante in Ris-Orangis, hunting by the water (Essonne)

Sunday July 5, the Ptilou broc'récup association sets up its Seine Riverside Brocante at La Résidence en Bois, quai de la Borde in Ris-Orangis. July 5 is one of its handful of dates for the year.

The setting is the trump card: a green, unusual spot on the banks of the Seine, a radical change from the usual supermarket car parks. Reserved for private sellers, this brocante is all about friendliness and genuine attic finds, at the modest rate of 8 € per metre for sellers. Clothes, crockery, books, toys and trinkets change hands in a relaxed riverside mood. A gem for those who prefer quiet hunting by the water to the big crowds of the giant sales. A pretty goal for a Sunday walk in Essonne.
