Chanteloup-les-Vignes Comité des Fêtes Flea Market

The Traditional Flea Market of the Comité des Fêtes

The Chanteloup-les-Vignes Comité des Fêtes flea market is one of the highlights of community life in this Yvelines town located in the Seine loop. Held every June, it brings together local exhibitors, regular bargain hunters, and families on the vast lawn of Parc Champeau for a friendly day outdoors. Over the years, the event has become a cherished tradition for residents of Chanteloup and neighboring towns.

A Green Setting: Parc Champeau

Parc Champeau offers an ideal venue for an outdoor flea market. Its vast green spaces, shaded alleys, and country atmosphere create a mood very different from compact urban flea markets. Exhibitors set up from dawn, around 6 a.m., and remain until 5 p.m. Visitors can stroll through the aisles, chat with vendors, negotiate prices, and enjoy the green setting for a picnic break or a stop at the refreshment stand run by committee volunteers.

What You'll Find

The flea market welcomes varied exhibitors: individuals emptying their attics, enlightened amateurs, and some semi-professionals. You'll find a bit of everything: small furniture, tableware, trinkets, books, toys, clothing, vinyl records, old postcards, old tools, costume jewelry, antique bric-a-brac, and vintage items. Prices are generally modest, and friendly bargaining is part of the charm of this local event.

Chanteloup-les-Vignes and the Seine Loop

Chanteloup-les-Vignes is a Yvelines commune nestled on the hillsides of the Seine loop, a few kilometers from Poissy, Conflans-Sainte-Honorine, and the Hautil forest. Famous for its cultural commitment and its Académie Fratellini circus school, which marked the recent history of French circus arts, the town also offers a remarkable natural setting with views over the Seine.
