Belle brocante et toutes collections de Barcelonnette

The beautiful flea market of Barcelonnette

In the summer, Barcelonnette, capital of the Ubaye valley, hosts a beautiful flea market and all collections in its town center. This event brings together antique dealers, second-hand dealers, and collectors in the exceptional setting of this mountain town with a unique heritage.

Barcelonnette, town of Mexican villas

Barcelonnette is famous for its Mexican villas, built in the 19th century by emigrants from the valley who returned wealthy from Mexico. This architectural heritage, unique in France, gives the town a special charm. The town center, with its Place Manuel and its shopping streets, offers a pleasant setting for the flea market.

The highest sub-prefecture in France

Located at an altitude of 1135 meters, Barcelonnette is the highest sub-prefecture in France. In summer, the town experiences high tourist numbers thanks to its proximity to the Mercantour National Park, the Serre-Ponçon lake, and the numerous hiking opportunities. The flea market benefits from this summer influx.
