Vieux Lyon Flea Market (summer edition)

The Vieux Lyon Flea Market: bargain hunting in the city's finest neighbourhood

On Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 June 2026, the Vieux Lyon Flea Market presents its summer edition in the lanes and courtyards of the Saint-Jean quarter and surroundings. Each year, this popular flea market attracts hundreds of exhibitors – private sellers moving house or clearing attics, amateur and professional dealers – who set up their stalls on the squares and in the cobbled streets of this exceptional neighbourhood. Vintage clothing, antique furniture and tableware, books and records, trinkets and decorative objects: the diversity of finds on offer delights bargain hunters from all over Lyon and passing tourists alike.

Vieux Lyon: between traboules and Renaissance architecture

Vieux Lyon is a neighbourhood like no other. Its three historic sub-districts – Saint-Jean around the cathedral, Saint-Paul upstream, and Saint-Georges downstream – constitute one of the best-preserved Renaissance urban ensembles in Europe. The golden limestone loggia houses, the inner courtyards adorned with wells and climbing plants, and the traboules – those characteristic passages that cross the city blocks from one end to the other – compose a medieval and Renaissance setting of exceptional richness. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998 under the "Historic Sites of Lyon", Vieux Lyon is the ideal setting for a flea market that combines the beauty of antique objects with that of a living architectural heritage.
