Albi Pelloutier Flea Market and Creators' Fair

An event in the heart of the episcopal city

Organized by the Pelloutier Traders' Association, this new Albi gathering brings together a flea market, creators' fair, and small producers' market in a single friendly event. Set on Place Fernand Pelloutier, a vast pedestrian esplanade just steps from the Sainte-Cécile Cathedral and the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, the event enjoys one of the most beautiful urban settings in the Tarn.

What you will find

Across 74 stands spread throughout the square, private sellers display clothing, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, and family bric-a-brac. Alongside them, local creators — jewelers, ceramicists, leather workers, illustrators, soap makers — present their original handmade pieces from Occitanie. A dedicated area also features small Tarn producers offering Gaillac wines, cheeses, and sweet specialties.

Atmosphere and setting

The event runs from 8 am to 5 pm in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere typical of Sunday mornings in Albi. Several food and drink stands around the square invite visitors to linger over a coffee, a glass of local wine, or a gourmet plate. Children will enjoy the second-hand toy aisles and the occasional activities organized by neighboring shops.

Tips to make the most of your day

Arrive early to grab the best deals from private sellers, and save the early afternoon for discovering the creators, who are usually more available to talk about their work. Bring cash, a sturdy bag, and stay hydrated. Since Place Pelloutier is at the center of Albi, take the opportunity to continue with a walk through the old town or along the banks of the Tarn.
