Annual Moret-Loing-et-Orvanne Flea Market (Place du Champ de Mars)

Bargain Hunting in the Impressionist City

Moret-Loing-et-Orvanne is a new commune born in 2015 from the merger of several communes of southern Seine-et-Marne, including Moret-sur-Loing, Écuelles, Veneux-les-Sablons, Épisy, and Montarlot. Every spring, its annual flea market takes over Place du Champ de Mars, a vast esplanade at the heart of Moret-sur-Loing, the delegated commune that concentrates the main events of the area. The 2026 edition takes place on Sunday April 19.

Place du Champ de Mars, a Natural Setting

Place du Champ de Mars is the traditional gathering point for public events in Moret-sur-Loing. Vast, tree-lined, and open onto the historic neighborhoods, it offers exhibitors a comfortable space to set up their stalls and visitors a pleasant place to stroll. Its immediate proximity to the fortified gates, the banks of the Loing, and the medieval alleys makes it a particularly picturesque setting for a spring flea market.

A Rich and Varied Offering

The flea market brings together a wide range of exhibitors from across the region. Private sellers offer clothing, toys, books, records, crockery, trinkets, childcare equipment, small furniture, decorative items, and various curiosities. The diversity and number of stalls make this flea market one of the most attended of the southern Seine-et-Marne spring calendar.

Moret-sur-Loing, a Village Steeped in History

Moret-sur-Loing is not an ordinary village. A former royal stronghold, it has preserved from its past its two fortified gates (Porte de Bourgogne and Porte de Samois), its keep, its Gothic Notre-Dame church, its old half-timbered houses, and its cobbled streets. It was here that Alfred Sisley, one of the masters of Impressionism, spent the last years of his life and painted some of his most famous works. The banks of the Loing still offer today the same viewpoints that inspired the master.

A Complete Family Outing

The flea market lends itself ideally to a family outing in the fresh air. Children find their happiness at toy and book stalls, parents hunt for furniture and decorations, antique lovers examine brocante pieces. Once the hunt is over, the day can naturally extend to a stroll in the alleys of Moret, a walk along the Loing, or a detour to the nuns' barley sugar factory, a secular local specialty founded in Moret in 1638.

Southern Seine-et-Marne, a Land of Outings

For bargain hunters coming from afar, the Moret-Loing-et-Orvanne flea market is the ideal opportunity to discover southern Seine-et-Marne: the nearby Fontainebleau forest, the UNESCO-listed royal castle of Fontainebleau, Grez-sur-Loing dear to landscape painters, and the hiking trails crisscrossing the region. A destination mixing culture, nature, and gastronomy.
