The Trévoux Flea Market: Bargain Hunting by the Saône

Every first Sunday of September, the Saône quay in Trévoux hosts one of the most picturesque flea markets in the Ain department. Organized by the Classe 73, an association of conscripts, this event takes over the lower port and quays of this former capital of the principality of Dombes, offering an exceptional setting between the river and historical heritage.

A Postcard Setting

The Saône quay in Trévoux is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful locations for a flea market in the region. The stalls of the dealers stretch along the river, with the colorful facades of old houses, the medieval towers of the castle, and the church bell tower as a backdrop. This photogenic setting attracts bargain hunters as well as strollers who come to enjoy a beautiful late summer day by the water.

Flea Market and Car Boot Sale Combined

The Trévoux flea market brings together professional dealers and individuals in a friendly atmosphere. You can find antique furniture, tableware, trinkets, books, vintage clothing, collectibles, and curiosities of all kinds. The size of the event allows you to spend several hours searching through the stands, always with the hope of finding that rare piece.

The Spirit of the Conscripts

The organization by the Classe 73 is part of the tradition of the conscripts, these associations that bring together people born in the same year and organize festive events throughout their lives. This tradition, very much alive in the Ain and neighboring departments, brings a friendly dimension to the flea market and an organization honed by decades of practice.
