Brocante Foire de la Saint-Laurent — Pradelles

The Foire de la Saint-Laurent in Pradelles

Pradelles is one of those villages that are worth visiting several times. Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, this medieval town perched on the borders of Haute-Loire and Ardèche retains its historic character intact. Every first Sunday of August, it hosts the Foire de la Saint-Laurent, a traditional event that takes place in the heart of the village, on the Place de la Halle.

A fair rooted in tradition

The Foire de la Saint-Laurent is a traditional fair that combines a flea market, car boot sale, and open-air market. Exhibitors set up from the morning in the square and surrounding streets, offering antiques, collectibles, furniture, tableware, and second-hand items. The fair runs from 8 am to 6 pm, leaving visitors plenty of time to explore the stalls and wander through the village alleys.

Pradelles, a medieval village in Haute-Loire

Pradelles is located at the crossroads of Vivarais and Gévaudan, at the southern tip of the Haute-Loire department. Its castle, ramparts, Romanesque church, and medieval houses make it one of the most remarkable sites in the region. The presence of an Emmaüs opening during the fair adds a social dimension to the event, offering furniture and items at low prices for visitors looking for bargains.

Welcome and conviviality

The Foire de la Saint-Laurent is also a time for reunion for the inhabitants of Pradelles and the surrounding communes. Refreshments, food, and entertainment complete the afternoon in this incomparable medieval setting. Hikers on the long-distance footpaths in the area, particularly the GR 7, often stop on this day to enjoy the village's lively atmosphere. Contact organizers: 04 71 00 82 65.
