Autumn Flea Market of Samoreau (Saint-Aubin Park)

The Samoreau Autumn Flea Market: village tradition by the Seine

Every first Sunday of September, the village of Samoreau comes alive for its large autumn flea market. Organized by the town hall in the magnificent Saint-Aubin Park, this event has become one of the largest in southern Seine-et-Marne. With its 250 exhibitors, it brings together villagers, professional dealers, and collectors presenting their finds along the shaded paths of the communal park.

An exceptional setting: Saint-Aubin Park

What gives the Samoreau flea market its particular charm is its setting: Saint-Aubin Park offers an ideal green oasis for strolling between stalls, in the shade of large century-old trees. The spacious paths allow for fluid circulation even during busy periods, and the park retains a bucolic atmosphere that pleasantly contrasts with denser urban flea markets. Visitors appreciate being able to take their time, sit on a bench to examine their purchases, and enjoy the natural setting throughout their visit.

A varied offering: from family garage sales to professional dealers

The richness of this event lies in the diversity of its exhibitors. You will find families from Samoreau taking advantage of the event to part with their everyday items (toys, clothes, dishes, books, small appliances), as well as seasoned dealers offering antique furniture, collector's items, vinyl records, postcards, porcelain, vintage linens, and curiosities. This mix makes the Samoreau flea market a prime hunting ground for experienced bargain hunters and amateurs alike.

Samoreau, a village of character between river and forest

Samoreau is a charming village on the banks of the Seine, located directly opposite Champagne-sur-Seine, just a few kilometers from Fontainebleau. The village has retained a rare authenticity, with its old houses, its church, and its cemetery where the poet Stéphane Mallarmé is buried. The immediate proximity of the Fontainebleau forest and the banks of the Seine makes it a popular holiday destination, and the flea market is an opportunity for many visitors to discover or rediscover this preserved corner of southern Seine-et-Marne.

Careful municipal organization

The town hall of Samoreau ensures the smooth running of the event each year. Exhibitors book their spaces in advance with the secretariat, and the municipality provides everything necessary for the day to run smoothly: signage, water points, sanitary facilities, refreshments, and on-site catering. Admission remains free for visitors, in the spirit of a popular festival open to all.

A day in Samoreau and surroundings

Coming to hunt for treasures at the Samoreau flea market is also an opportunity to extend the day by discovering the surroundings. A few minutes away: the banks of the Seine and their towpaths, the Fontainebleau forest and its famous rocks, the Fontainebleau castle classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the medieval town of Moret-sur-Loing, or the artists' village of Barbizon. A lovely way to combine the passion for bargain hunting with heritage discovery in Seine-et-Marne.
