The weekend of May 16-17, 2026 promises a fine harvest for bargain hunters in the Landes. The department stretches from the southern coast to the Chalosse hills. The 2026 calendar shows 8 garage sales packed into this Sunday.
Mid-May weather brings the first heat to the pine forest. Lakeside and coastal villages already attract Basque and Bordeaux visitors. Why come and hunt here rather than elsewhere? Landes villages still hide treasures far from the Parisian radar.
Sanguinet, Soustons, Tarnos, Peyrehorade: 4 micro-areas, 4 vibes. Here are 8 stops worth adding to a bargain hunter's agenda, from the Born to the Pays d'Orthe.
Sunday May 17 — the big day
Grand vide-greniers de Soustons — 120 stalls in the Resano hangar
This is the heavyweight of the weekend. The Soustons grand garage sale takes over the Resano hangar, rue de Moscou, with 120 private stallholders. The vast covered space handles rain and heat.
Who fits this event? Bargain hunters from the southern Landes who want to skip the coastal crowds. Soustons sits 10 km from the coast, in a town of 8,200 residents. Food and drinks on site. See the page.
Vide-grenier de Sanguinet — 100 stalls beside the lake
The Sanguinet garage sale takes place at Espace Gemme, avenue du Born, in this town bordered by Lake Cazaux-Sanguinet. Nearly 100 private stallholders bring clothes, toys, books and trinkets to a green setting.
How does it work? Outdoor slots first-come first-served from 6am, or indoor slots on reservation. Coffee and crepes guaranteed. The nearby lake invites a swim break after the hunt. See the page.
Brocante et vide-greniers de Sanguinet — Espace Gemme mixed format

Vide-greniers de Saint-Vincent-de-Paul — 75 stands by the water
Exceptional setting for this Saint-Vincent-de-Paul garage sale. It runs at the Glaciere pond, route de la Glaciere, in this Greater Dax town. About 75 stallholders set up beside the water.
What is the appeal? The relaxed feel of a family promenade spot. The surrounding forest provides shade from 11am. It has become the hunting ground for bargain lovers from the Dax basin. See the page.
Vide-grenier de Tarnos — 65 stands at the gates of the Basque Country
The Tarnos garage sale brings 65 stallholders to Parc de la Nature, avenue Julian Grimau. The town counts 13,000 residents and almost touches Bayonne. Bargain hunters from the BAB area make the trip.
Stallholder fee is gentle: 10 € with table, 8 € without. The shaded park handles Basque heat well. Vintage furniture lovers often score here. See the page.
Vide-greniers de la Musicale des Gaves — Peyrehorade hunting and giving
The Musicale des Gaves, Peyrehorade's local music school, runs its big garage sale at the Aspremont hall and in the surrounding streets. Profits fund music education for all ages.
The atmosphere stays musical and friendly, at the heart of the Pays d'Orthe medieval bastide. Snack bar and food on site. At 30 km from Bayonne, the event also draws Béarn locals. See the page.
All year round — the monthly fixtures to know
