Brocante des Quinconces (Autumn)

The Autumn Edition of Brocante des Quinconces

Each year, in addition to the spring edition, the Place des Quinconces hosts an autumn flea market, generally held from November to December. Professional exhibitors specializing in antiques and flea market finds set up on this monumental square to offer a wide range of items: antique furniture, tableware, knick-knacks, paintings, lighting fixtures, old books, and a thousand other curiosities. The atmosphere differs from the spring edition, being more intimate, with the soft light of Bordeaux in autumn.

Bargain Hunting as the Holidays Approach

The timing of the autumn flea market, just a few weeks before Christmas, makes it a prime event for lovers of original gifts. Instead of offering new, standardized items, many visitors come to find a unique piece: an antique piece of jewelry, a collectible item, a rare book, or a distinctive piece of furniture. The exhibitors, seasoned professionals accustomed to such events, know the value of their items and can advise buyers.

An Exceptional Setting for the Flea Market

The Place des Quinconces, spanning 12 hectares, offers a unique strolling space in France. The Monument aux Girondins, the rostral columns, and the view of the Garonne quays create a majestic backdrop. In autumn, the trees lining the square turn golden hues, adding to the charm of this flea market. Access is easy via tram (Quinconces stop) and the underground parking lot located beneath the square.
