Brocante Collections de Briançon

The Collections Flea Market at the Covered Market

Every summer, the covered market of the 15/9 district in Briançon hosts a professional flea market dedicated to collections and antiques. This event brings together fewer than 50 professional exhibitors in a covered setting, allowing bargain hunters to discover quality items protected from the weather.

Briançon, a Vauban City Classified by UNESCO

Briançon is famous for its Vauban fortifications, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2008. The Cité Vauban, a fortified upper town, overlooks the confluence of the Guisane and the Durance. The 15/9 district, where the covered market is located, takes its name from the 159th Alpine Infantry Regiment, recalling the military history of this garrison town.

What to find at the stalls?

Professional exhibitors offer quality items: antique furniture, art objects, paintings, silverware, ceramics, glassware, antique jewelry, rare books, old postcards, and curiosities. The mountainous setting favors the presence of Alpine objects: Savoyard furniture, mountain tools, Alpine landscape prints, vintage mountaineering equipment. Lovers of beautiful pieces will find their happiness in this selective flea market.

A Historic Covered Market

The covered market of 15/9 is an emblematic place in Briançon. Built to house the town's weekly market, it offers an ideal covered space for flea market and antique events, protecting stalls and visitors from the intense sun or summer Alpine showers.
