Motobroc' Monteux Swap Meet

The swap meet for vintage motorcycles

Motobroc' is atypical among Vaucluse markets: a swap meet dedicated to vintage and old-school motorcycles. Run by the Motobroc association (motobroc.free.fr), it gathers twice a year (April, October) collectors, mechanics, builders and fans from across southern France to trade parts, complete bikes, period accessories and anything about character motorcycling.

Motobroc's spirit is worlds away from big trade shows: it's about sharing a passion, catching up with old road friends, finding the elusive part missing for a restoration — coffee, fuel, elbow grease and endless talk about English heads, 70s Italians, Japanese classics.

What to find

• Complete vintage motorcycles, restored or for restoration
• Period parts (engines, carbs, lights, gauges)
• Fairings, seats, bars, tanks
• Vintage gear: helmets, leather jackets, boots, goggles
• Accessories, tooling
• Documentation, workshop manuals, magazines, posters
• Scale models, badges, advertising plaques

Two 2026 dates

The April edition (12 April 2026) opens the season as classics come out of garages. The October edition (4 October 2026) closes it — time for winter restorations. A key marker for the PACA old-school community.

Monteux, motorcycle country

Monteux has a historic motoball club (football + motorcycles). Motobroc' fits this mechanical heritage. The Comtat Venaissin, Luberon and Ventoux roads are among France's best for riding.

The crowd

Seasoned collectors hunting THE missing part, café racer and scrambler builders, youngsters discovering vintage, Sunday couples, weekend wrenchers bargaining with a smile. A family-friendly atmosphere open to curious newcomers.

Extend the day

Monteux historic centre and Clémentine Tower, Parc Spirou or Wave Island for families, or a ride to Carpentras, Mont Ventoux, Gordes, or Luberon hilltop villages. Traditional Provençal cuisine nearby.
