Gif-sur-Yvette, research town in the Yvette valley

Gif-sur-Yvette is an Essonne (91) commune of around 21,000 inhabitants, located in the Yvette valley at the south-western edge of the Saclay plateau.

This well-established monthly event is popular with bargain hunters from across the Yvette valley and the Saclay plateau. The seller fee is €12 per linear metre (minimum 2m without a vehicle, 5m with one); booking is compulsory by post. Free entry for visitors. A mix of professional antique dealers and private sellers ensures a varied offer that changes from month to month.
