Boulevard de Chines — Place des Arts

Looking back at Boulevards de Chines 2024

On Thursday, May 9, 2024, residents of Valence and visitors from across the region flocked to the boulevards d'Alsace and Bancel for the annual Boulevards de Chines. From 8:30 AM, the stands of flea market and antique professionals offered a remarkable panorama of antique furniture, decorative objects, and curiosities from all origins.

The Place des Arts, on the places des Clercs and des Ormeaux, hosted a selection of contemporary artists—painters, sculptors, and ceramicists—who exhibited their works in an open-air gallery. This artistic dimension, which has become inseparable from the event since 2017, attracted a large and diverse audience, including both flea market and art enthusiasts.

The next edition is confirmed for Thursday, May 14, 2026, Ascension Day.
