Brocante and Plant Fair of Tain-l'Hermitage

Flea Market and Plant Fair on Quai Defer

Every May, the Quai Defer in Tain-l'Hermitage transforms into a festive and colorful market combining a flea market and a plant fair. This original and popular event brings together two complementary worlds: antique objects and plants, for a day of discovery along the Rhône.

Quai Defer, the ideal setting for this event

Quai Defer runs along the Rhône in Tain-l'Hermitage, offering exceptional views of the river and the Hermitage hillside in the background. This emblematic site, regularly buzzing with cultural and commercial events, perfectly hosts this spring double market. Visitors stroll between flea market stalls and plant stands in a festive and fragrant atmosphere.

A double market for all tastes

On the flea market side, you'll find the traditional assortment of furniture, tableware, antique tools, trinkets, and decorative objects. On the plant fair side, horticulturists and nurseries offer perennial plants, roses, shrubs, aromatic herbs, vegetables, and seasonal flowers. This blend of nature and antiques attracts a diverse audience, from gardeners seeking new species to bargain hunters looking for rare finds.

Tain-l'Hermitage in May: the best time

May, with its long weekends and sunny days in the Rhône Valley, is ideal for this outdoor event. Tain-l'Hermitage, known for its Hermitage wines and Valrhona chocolate factory, attracts many visitors every weekend who can combine their visit to the fair with a wine tasting or a trip to the Cité du Chocolat.
