The Montigny-le-Gannelon Flea Market, an institution in the Loir Valley

For over forty years, the Montigny-le-Gannelon festival committee has organized one of the most popular and important flea markets in the Eure-et-Loir department every summer. With its 250 exhibitors, professional and amateur alike, the Montigny-le-Gannelon flea market is a major event that attracts visitors from all over the Centre-Val de Loire region and neighboring areas to hunt for treasures in this exceptional waterfront setting.

Les Ballastières, an exceptional natural setting

The setting of the flea market is one of its major assets. Les Ballastières, former gravel and sand extraction sites converted into bodies of water, offer a green and bucolic backdrop ideal for a summer treasure-hunting day. This natural site, located in Montigny-le-Gannelon, a commune attached to Cloyes-les-Trois-Rivières in the Loir valley, combines the appeal of the flea market with the serenity of a preserved natural environment by the river.

250 exhibitors for all tastes

The flea market brings together up to 250 professionals and amateurs who offer a huge variety of objects and furniture. Antique dealers, professional flea market vendors, and individuals mingle on a spacious site, offering visitors a complete panorama of the best the second-hand market has to offer. Antique furniture, tableware and table art, decorative objects, trinkets and curiosities, vintage clothing and accessories, old books, paintings and prints: flea market enthusiasts and collectors will surely find what they are looking for in this vast event.

A tradition of over 40 editions

The longevity of the Montigny-le-Gannelon flea market is a testament to its success and the attachment of the people of the Loir valley to this event. For each edition, the festival committee renews the organization with the same care and enthusiasm, ensuring a quality welcome and a friendly atmosphere that keeps exhibitors and visitors coming back year after year. The 2025 edition was presented as the 41st edition, confirming the event's place in the local festive heritage.

A festive day with refreshments and food

To complete the treasure-hunting day, the festival committee provides a refreshment stand and offers drinks and snacks throughout the event. The relaxed atmosphere and the natural conviviality of this flea market make it a popular outing for families and couples as well as solo treasure hunters. Entry is free for visitors, which contributes to the event's popular success.
