The mix of amateurs clearing out their attics and experienced professionals guarantees a wide variety of prices and objects, from trinkets for a few euros to more sought-after collectibles. The proximity to Sunday, May 3, 2026 makes it an ideal occasion to enjoy the Brie spring.

Rebais, a Benedictine City in the Heart of Brie des Morin

Rebais originates from the Saint-Pierre Abbey founded in the 7th century by Saint Aile, companion of Saint Ouen. From this monastic history, the city retains its abbey church, a remarkable building combining Romanesque and Gothic elements, as well as an ancient urban layout typical of Brie. Located at the heart of the Morin region, between the Grand Morin and the Petit Morin, Rebais is also known for its cheese-making tradition and its historical role in Brie's agricultural economy.

The Garage Sale, a Popular and Community Event

The tradition of the spring garage sale has become firmly anchored in French popular culture. Much more than a simple sale, it is a true moment of sharing that brings together all generations around bargain hunting, the circular economy, and the pleasure of finding treasures. For individuals, it is an opportunity to give a second life to objects accumulated over the years. For bargain hunters, it is the promise of finding unexpected treasures at low prices. In Rebais, the event also contributes to commercial activity and the city's influence.

Discovering Brie des Morin

Visitors coming for the Rebais flea market can extend their getaway by exploring the rich Morin region. Saint-Cyr-sur-Morin, adopted home of the writer Pierre Mac Orlan, offers its literary museum and rolling landscapes. Coulommiers, capital of brie cheese, charms with its old center and artisanal cheese dairies. Heritage enthusiasts can push on to Provins, a medieval city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located about 30 kilometers away.
