The 2025 edition of the Bourse aux Armes et Militaria de Gémenos was held in June at the Parc départemental de Saint-Pons, in the majestic setting of the Cistercian abbey, a classified Historic Monument. Organized by the local section of the UNC, this exhibition brought together around forty exhibitors specializing in antique collectible weapons, decorations, medals, old uniforms, insignia, and military souvenirs. Collectors and history enthusiasts from the Bouches-du-Rhône and all of Provence gathered for a day of discoveries and exchanges at the foot of the Sainte-Baume massif.
In June 2025, the Parc départemental de Saint-Pons in Gémenos hosted the Bourse aux Armes et Militaria, organized by the local section of the UNC (Union Nationale des Combattants). In the exceptional setting of the 13th-century Cistercian abbey, classified as a Historic Monument since 1926, around forty exhibitors presented their collections to visitors from all over southeastern France.
The stands offered a wide range of military items from all eras: antique collectible weapons (regulated firearms, bayonets, swords, sabers), decorations and medals (national orders, Croix de Guerre, commemorative medals), old uniforms (military outfits, helmets, caps, field equipment), regimental insignia, historical documents (military service records, photographs, war correspondence), and specialized books on military history. Both seasoned collectors and those discovering militaria for the first time appreciated the exchanges with passionate and knowledgeable exhibitors.
The Bourse aux Armes et Militaria de Gémenos will return on June 1, 2026, to the Parc de Saint-Pons. Collectors of antique weapons and military history enthusiasts are invited to attend this annual event in this unique heritage setting in Provence.
