Bourneau Festival Committee Flea Market

Bourneau Festival Committee flea market

Bourneau, rural commune of about 1,000 in southern Vendée, 10 min from Fontenay-le-Comte. Its Festival Committee runs an annual flea market with a producers' market — an original format that sets the event apart. New 2026 edition expected per annual rhythm (exact dates TBC with committee).

This mixed flea market + producers' market format is increasingly popular: visitors can combine in one visit classic hunting (trinkets, clothes, books, crockery, small furniture) and local terroir discovery (cheese, honey, jams, vegetables, poultry, artisanal breads). A nice way to support both circular economy and local producers.

What to find

• Flea market: bric-a-brac, crockery, books, toys, clothes, small furniture
• Producers' market: vegetables, fruit, honey, jams, cheese, poultry, breads, pâtés, local wines, farm eggs
• Possible local artisan stalls
• Demonstrations in some editions
