Brocante des Halles de Dax

The Brocante des Halles: a meeting place for bargain hunters in the heart of Dax

Twice a month, the outdoor square of the Halles de Dax transforms into a treasure market where antique and flea market enthusiasts come to sift through the stalls of about twenty professional exhibitors. Located at the foot of the magnificent Art Deco Halles, this flea market benefits from an exceptional location in the heart of France's leading spa town.

Collector's items and quality bric-a-brac

The exhibitors at the Brocante des Halles offer a wide range of items: antique jewelry, porcelain and earthenware tableware, period books, vintage toys, trinkets, small furniture, and various curiosities. The quality of the merchandise attracts bargain hunters from all over the southern Landes and the neighboring Basque Country. The organizer, Gilles Bendejac, ensures the selection of exhibitors to guarantee a consistent level of quality.

A remarkable heritage setting

The Halles de Dax, built in the 1920s in an elegant Art Deco style, provide an ideal setting for this flea market. The Place de la Cathédrale, which the outdoor market overlooks, offers a typical Landes atmosphere. Visitors can combine their visit to the flea market with a stroll through the historic center of Dax, discover the Gallo-Roman ramparts, or enjoy a gourmet break in one of the nearby restaurants.

Practical tips for bargain hunters

It's best to come in the morning for the best selection. The market starts at 7 a.m., and the most interesting items are quickly snapped up. Don't hesitate to negotiate with the professional exhibitors; it's the tradition of the flea market. Parking is available near the Halles, and the center of Dax is easily accessible on foot from the parking lots.
