Brocante des Capitouls

The prestigious flea market in the heart of Toulouse

The Brocante des Capitouls is a premier annual event that takes over the rue Alsace-Lorraine, one of Toulouse's most prestigious avenues. Every April, about fifty professional antique dealers and flea market vendors from all over Occitanie set up their stalls on this wide pedestrian street, between place Jeanne-d'Arc and square Charles-de-Gaulle (Esquirol). The event is named after the Capitouls, the former municipal magistrates of Toulouse, symbols of the rich historical past of the 'Pink City'.

Treasures for art and flea market lovers

The Brocante des Capitouls is distinguished by the quality of its exclusively professional offerings:

• Antique furniture: chests of drawers, side tables, armchairs, period writing desks;

The exclusive presence of professionals guarantees the authenticity of the items and the opportunity to receive expert advice on the origin and value of the objects.

Rue Alsace-Lorraine, the setting for the flea market

Rue Alsace-Lorraine is the historic commercial artery of Toulouse. Entirely pedestrian, lined with Haussmannian pink brick buildings and elegant shops, it offers a remarkable setting for this prestigious flea market. The stalls stretch for several hundred meters, allowing for a pleasant stroll through the heart of Toulouse's architectural heritage. The event is accessible via the metro stations Jeanne-d'Arc (line B) and Esquirol (line A).

An event by the Union of flea market dealers

The Brocante des Capitouls is organized by the Union of flea market dealers and antique dealers of Haute-Garonne, which is also behind the famous Brocante des Allées François-Verdier, a monthly event for professional flea markets in Toulouse. This affiliation ensures a consistent level of quality and a rigorous selection of exhibitors.
