Bazemont Flea Market

The Bazemont Flea Market, a Local Spring Institution

Every April, the small village of Bazemont, nestled in the hills of the Mantois in the western Yvelines, hosts its traditional flea market. Set in the village center, on rue des écoles and surrounding streets, it attracts bargain hunters and curious visitors from neighboring towns including Mantes-la-Jolie, Les Mureaux, Aubergenville and Epône. It is one of the first major flea market events of the season for collectors in the area.

A Small-Scale Event in an Authentic Village Setting

True to Bazemont's character, a village of fewer than a thousand inhabitants overlooking the Seine Valley, the flea market maintains a human scale and a welcoming atmosphere. The mostly private exhibitors set up at dawn (from 5:30 to 7 AM) before opening to the public at 8 AM. The alleys, lined with typical old Mantois houses, offer a charming backdrop for a morning of treasure hunting.

What You'll Find on the Stalls

The Bazemont flea market brings together a varied selection: antique or vintage furniture, tableware, decorative items, old toys, books, vinyl records, clothing and accessories, tools, and everyday objects from years past. Prices remain affordable since the event focuses on popular, accessible flea market culture. Great finds abound for those who arrive early and know how to bargain, in the true tradition of village brocantes.

A Day Out with On-Site Refreshments

The refreshment stand and food stalls open continuously from 6 AM, offering coffee, pastries, drinks and hot meals throughout the day. The event runs until 6 PM, allowing visitors to enjoy the alleys and spring weather.
