The Ascension Day brocante in the heart of the forest village
Every Ascension Thursday, Saint-Leu-la-Forêt hosts its Brocante des Diablots along the avenue of the same name in the heart of the town. In 2026, the event takes place on 14 May from 7 AM to 7 PM. Private sellers and local shopkeepers display furniture, trinkets, clothing and antiques in this wooded Val-d'Oise commune.
For many years, the town of Saint-Leu-la-Forêt has maintained a fine tradition: organising its large town centre brocante every Ascension Thursday. The Brocante des Diablots – named after the avenue des Diablots which hosts the event – is eagerly anticipated by residents and bargain hunters from across the Montmorency valley.
The brocante welcomes both private individuals wishing to clear their attics and local established businesses seizing the opportunity to display their goods outdoors. The entire length of avenue des Diablots transforms into an open-air market offering furniture, trinkets, clothing, books, crockery, paintings, decorative objects and various curiosities.
The brocante is organised by EGS, a specialist event management company in Île-de-France. Private exhibitors register in 2-metre modules (€12 per linear metre). Food professionals pay a flat daily rate. Each exhibitor brings their own materials; ground-level displays are prohibited. The event is outdoors only, 7 AM–7 PM.
The Brocante des Diablots 2026 takes place on Thursday 14 May 2026 (Ascension Day), along avenue des Diablots in Saint-Leu-la-Forêt, from 7 AM to 7 PM. Private sellers and local shopkeepers exhibit outdoors. Registrations before 4 May 2026 with EGS.
