Summer hunting for local tennis
Beaurepaire, about 2,000 inhabitants in the Bocage Vendéen, 10 min from Les Herbiers. Like many Vendée communities, it houses several sports clubs including the Tennis Club — lessons, tournaments, events year-round. To fund equipment, court upkeep and operation, volunteers run a summer flea market.
2025 edition: Sunday 13 July 2025. 2026 edition expected in July (date TBC with club). Festive, solidarity, friendly — hunt while supporting a local sports club.
The Tennis Club flea market has become a local hunters' rendezvous. Usually in Beaurepaire centre or near the courts. Volunteers welcome exhibitors at dawn and run bar and food all day.
Besides usual flea-market perks, joining this one supports a sports club promoting tennis among youth and adults. Proceeds fund equipment, facility upkeep and coaching.
Typical Bocage Vendéen: hedges, meadows, sunken lanes. 10 min from Les Herbiers, 20 min from Puy du Fou and many regional attractions. Saint-Blaise church, rural chapels, old centre houses round out the heritage.
Arrive early (summer heat); cash and big bag; use the bar to support the club; consider a tennis match on Beaurepaire courts alongside the event.
Les Herbiers (10 min); Puy du Fou (20 min); Mortagne-sur-Sèvre (30 min); Montaigu (25 min).
The flea market of the Tennis Club de Beaurepaire (Vendée, 85500) returns in July 2026 for its traditional summer edition. Organized annually by the Tennis Club for the benefit of the association, this event brings together individuals and bargain hunters around stands of bric-a-brac, crockery, books, toys, clothes, and sports equipment. The exact date for the 2026 edition is yet to be confirmed by the organizers: the event usually takes place on a Sunday in July (July 9, 2023; July 13, 2025). Free entry for visitors; refreshment stand and catering on site.
