Brocante du Marché de Beaune

The Beaune Flea Market: A Weekly Event in the Heart of the Vineyards

Every Saturday morning, Beaune's Place Carnot hosts a professional flea market that has become a must-visit for lovers of antiques and old objects in Côte-d'Or. A few meters from the famous Hospices de Beaune and the Notre-Dame collegiate church, stalls are set up in a remarkable heritage setting, between half-timbered facades and café terraces.

A Market Reserved for Antique Professionals

Unlike car boot sales open to individuals, the Brocante du Marché de Beaune is strictly reserved for professional antique dealers and second-hand dealers. This requirement guarantees the consistent quality of the items offered: regional Burgundian furniture, 20th-century design furniture, earthenware, old glassware, silverware, paintings, prints, militaria, high period items, and collector's curiosities. Connoisseurs regularly find remarkable pieces at reasonable prices.

Beaune, the Ideal Setting for Treasure Hunting

Beaune, a sub-prefecture of Côte-d'Or and the historic capital of Burgundy wines, offers an exceptional setting for this flea market. Place Carnot, lined with shops and restaurants, is perfectly suited for a relaxed morning of treasure hunting. After browsing the stalls, visitors can extend their outing by visiting the Hôtel-Dieu, a UNESCO World Heritage site, or by enjoying a tasting in one of the many wine cellars in the town center.

Practical Information for Visitors

The flea market is open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., all year round. Access is free. Parking is available nearby. The square is easily accessible on foot from the Beaune SNCF train station (10 minutes walk). Food and drinks are available from neighboring establishments.
