Beaurepaire Tennis Club Flea Market

Beaurepaire Tennis Club flea market

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.

A summer tradition

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.

What to find

• Bric-a-brac from locals
• Crockery, trinkets, linen
• Books, comics, records, DVDs
• Toys, games, children's items
• Clothes, shoes
• Sports gear (sometimes second-hand tennis)
• Small furniture and decor

Why take part?

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.
