The big 14th of July street sale-flea market at the foot of the Ambierle priory
Ambierle, a small village in the Roannais region famous for its 15th-century Cluniac priory and its Alice Taverne museum dedicated to popular arts and traditions, hosts one of the largest street sales-flea markets in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region every July 14th. This event, organized for over 35 years, has built a loyal following of treasure hunters and strollers.
The street sale takes over the village streets and the Place du Château Gaillard from 4 a.m. for the early birds. You can find everything: antiques, old furniture, crockery, trinkets, vintage clothing, vinyl records, period toys, and collectibles. Exhibitors, both professional and private, offer their finds until the end of the day.
The setting of the village of Ambierle, with its half-timbered houses and its flamboyant Gothic priory, adds undeniable charm to this day of treasure hunting. Visitors can extend their visit by discovering the Flemish altarpiece in the church or the Alice Taverne museum. The refreshment stand and on-site catering allow for a full day out.
The traditional July 14th flea market and street sale returns to Ambierle (Loire) in 2026, organized by the Ambierle Festival Committee. With nearly 480 exhibitors, it is one of the largest flea markets in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, attracting thousands of bargain hunters every year.
On Tuesday, July 14, 2026, Ambierle comes alive all day for its big flea market and street sale, a tradition perpetuated for nearly 40 years by the Ambierle Festival Committee.

Bargain hunters will find antique dealers, second-hand dealers, garage sales, vintage and collectible items, as well as local artisans. Refreshment stand and catering on site (barbecue, fries, snacks). Admission and parking are free for visitors, and pitches are free for exhibitors (set-up possible from 3 PM the day before).
