Sallertaine Militaria Fair
Annual fair for military collectibles
About Sallertaine Militaria Fair
The Sallertaine Militaria Fair takes place on Sunday, 12 April 2026. Meeting point for collectors of uniforms, equipment and old military objects (WW1, WW2, later periods), in this emblematic Vendée Marais Breton village.
A rare themed fair in Vendée
Each spring, Sallertaine hosts a militaria fair, a specialist event distinct from classic flea markets by its exclusive military focus. 2026: Sunday 12 April. Rare in the region — a must for collectors and military-history enthusiasts of western France.
What you'll find
- Uniforms and insignia (WW1, WW2, Indochina, Algeria)
- Helmets, belts, personal equipment
- Medals and military decorations
- Period documents: military books, orders, photographs
- Neutralised ammunition, cartridges, trench objects
- Specialist books and magazines
- Re-enactment, figurines, military models
- Local Vendée Militaire memorabilia (Chouans, Vendée Wars)
A knowledgeable crowd
Mostly collectors, military-history buffs, re-enactors, modellers, military genealogy researchers. Studious atmosphere, precise exchanges around sometimes rare or hard-to-authenticate pieces.
Sallertaine, history-charged
Former Marais Breton island, itself charged with history (Vendée Wars 1793-1796). Fitting backdrop for a militaria fair.
Tips
Cash, bag, notes for specific pieces sought. Fair typically closes mid-afternoon.
