Chalautre-la-Grande Flea Market

The Chalautre-la-Grande Flea Market: A Traditional Brie Gathering

Every spring, Chalautre-la-Grande unfolds its annual flea market in the streets of the village. This event, well-rooted in local life, attracts residents of the village as well as bargain hunters from neighboring municipalities in the Provins region, the Bassee, and as far as the edge of Champagne. The 2026 edition will be held on Sunday, May 24, an ideal date to enjoy the late spring weather.

A Flea Market in the Village Streets

The originality of this event lies in its setup directly in the streets of the village, which gives it a special charm. Exhibitors deploy their stands along the main roads, transforming the village into a large open-air market. This configuration invites strolling and discovery: you move from one street to another, stop in front of an interesting piece, chat with the exhibitors, and appreciate the village architecture along with the treasures on display.

Antique Objects, Trinkets, and Good Deals

At the stands, individuals and dealers offer a wide range of items: antique tableware, glassware, decorative trinkets, small furniture, books and old papers, vintage toys, old tools, vintage clothing, vinyl records, postcards, and various curiosities. This diversity delights bargain hunters who love the unexpected, with something for everyone according to taste and budget.
