Pablo Picasso Flea Market of Champs-sur-Marne

The Pablo Picasso Flea Market: A Major Event in Northwestern Brie

Every spring, Place Pablo Picasso in Champs-sur-Marne hosts its large flea market, which has established itself as one of the major flea market events in the Marne-la-Vallée area. With a capacity reaching 300 exhibitors, this event brings together private individuals clearing their attics and professional dealers in a lively atmosphere typical of the large popular events of Île-de-France. The 2026 edition will be held on Sunday, May 10, from 8am to 6pm.

A Large-Scale Organization

The scale of the Pablo Picasso flea market makes it a well-organized event, with calibrated spots (3 or 6 meter lots), differentiated rates between Champs-sur-Marne residents, outsiders, and professionals, and rigorous management of registrations carried out in advance at the Fontaine aux Coulons stadium. This organization allows efficient accommodation of a large number of exhibitors while ensuring good circulation for visitors on the square and its surroundings.

A Varied Audience in an Urban Setting

Located in the heart of a residential neighborhood, Place Pablo Picasso becomes an immense open-air market for a day. Seasoned bargain hunters, local families, students from the nearby Cité Descartes, Marne-la-Vallée residents, and Parisians who come for the occasion meet along the stalls. This diversity of audience contributes to the lively and cosmopolitan atmosphere of the event.

A Varied Offer of Items

On the 300 spots, bargain hunters find an impressive assortment of items: antique furniture, tableware and earthenware, crystal, household linen, clothing for the whole family, shoes, bags, children's toys, books, vinyl records, DVDs, small appliances, decorative trinkets, paintings and frames, costume jewelry, tools and DIY, bicycles and sports equipment, as well as all kinds of curiosities.

Champs-sur-Marne, University Town and Castle

Champs-sur-Marne is a municipality of about 25,000 inhabitants in northwestern Seine-et-Marne, known notably for its castle classified as a historic monument and its park, as well as for the Cité Descartes which includes several graduate schools and the Gustave Eiffel University. The city is part of the Marne-la-Vallée territory and enjoys excellent accessibility via the RER A and the A4 motorway. A visit to the flea market can usefully be combined with the discovery of the Château de Champs-sur-Marne, an elegant 18th-century residence surrounded by a French-style park.
