The 31st Flea Market of Manthes

The Manthes flea market celebrates its 31st edition in 2026, a testament to its remarkable longevity and consistency for an event organized in a rural village in northern Drôme. For over thirty years, this annual gathering in Manthes has attracted professional dealers and private exhibitors who offer treasure hunters from the region a quality selection of antique furniture, tableware, silverware, trinkets, books, and collector's items. This long tradition makes the Manthes flea market one of the oldest and most loyal in the Drôme department.

Manthes, a village in the Pays de Romans and Drôme Isère

Manthes is a village of about 700 inhabitants in northern Drôme, in the Pays de Romans area, between Romans-sur-Isère and the Rhône valley. This rural town, surrounded by fields and meadows, benefits from an accessible geographical location: about fifteen kilometers from Romans-sur-Isère and Valence, it is easily reachable from the two main towns in northern Drôme.

The municipality of Manthes has succeeded in developing and maintaining its annual flea market for thirty years, demonstrating strong community commitment and support. Each edition strengthens the event's reputation, attracting more and more quality professional dealers and retaining a loyal audience of regional treasure hunters.

Thirty Years of Flea Market: A Drôme Institution

Reaching the 31st edition of a village flea market means having experienced thirty years of summer, spring, changes, and loyalties. The Manthes flea market has become over the years an institution in northern Drôme, a meeting place where people come to find familiar faces, discover new pieces, and nurture their passion for treasure hunting. The quality of the exhibitors and the variety of items offered—18th and 19th-century furniture, antique tableware, silverware, old books, paintings and prints, jewelry and watches, toys, and everyday objects from the past—make it a benchmark event for lovers of fine pieces.
