The Easter Flea Market in Saulieu: three days of treasure hunting in the heart of Morvan

Each year, the Easter weekend marks the return of the flea market organized by the Comité des Fêtes de Saulieu at the marché couvert (covered market), 15 rue Sallier. For three days — Saturday, Sunday, and Easter Monday — exhibitors set up under the covered halls of this charming town in Morvan, offering a varied selection of second-hand items, antiques, and curiosities.

An ideal covered market for the flea market

The covered market of Saulieu, located in the town center on rue Sallier, provides a covered and sheltered setting, perfect for a spring flea market. Visitors can browse the stalls regardless of the weather conditions, taking their time to examine old crockery, trinkets, second-hand books, vintage clothing, small furniture, old tools, antiques, and collector's items. The atmosphere is friendly and village-like, conducive to good deals and exchanges.

Saulieu, a gastronomic and cultural stop in Morvan

Saulieu, a small town of 2,500 inhabitants, is a historic stop on the national road 6, between Paris and Lyon. Known for its gastronomic tradition, exemplified by the famous Relais Bernard Loiseau restaurant, Saulieu also charms with its architectural heritage: the basilica of Saint-Andoche, a jewel of Burgundian Romanesque art, and the old houses in the town center. The Easter flea market is part of the festive life of this town, at the gates of the Parc naturel régional du Morvan.

A popular spring event

The Saulieu Easter flea market attracts treasure hunters from all over Côte-d'Or and Morvan, taking advantage of the long weekend to combine treasure hunting, gastronomy, and heritage discovery. Access is easy from the A6 motorway (Bierre-lès-Semur exit) and from Dijon (75 km) or Autun (45 km).
