Cave Cantarelle Great Flea Market - Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume

A large weekly flea market at the heart of Provence Verte

Run by Le Capucin, a recognised Var hunting-event platform, the Cave Cantarelle great flea market in Saint-Maximin has become one of the region's largest weekly rendezvous. Set at the Cave Audrey on the old chemin de Pourrières, it uses a large, well-planned space for cars, vans and hunters.

The notable 4 January 2026 edition opens the winter season with period-specific terms: early 6am-2pm hours and different prices by vehicle type.

A professional, structured format

Le Capucin brings pro organisation: online booking, precise spot marking, traffic management. This smoothly hosts dozens of exhibitors each week.

• Car stall: €15 for 6 linear metres
• Van stall: €20 for 9 linear metres
• Winter hours: 6am-2pm

A wide, varied offering

Regulars mix private sellers clearing their homes, occasional dealers, reuse sellers and collectors clearing stock. This diversity means both everyday deals and singular pieces.

• clothing, shoes, accessories
• toys, baby gear, board games
• crockery, glass, small appliances
• books, CDs, DVDs, vinyl
• small furniture, shelves, lamps
• curios, frames, mirrors, decor
• tools, gardening gear
• sports, bikes, outdoor gear
• collections (postcards, stamps, vinyl)

Saint-Maximin, a must destination

Saint-Maximin, famed for its Gothic basilica holding Mary Magdalene's relics, hosts several hunting events. Its A8 crossroads location makes it a hub for visitors from Aix, Marseille, Brignoles and eastern Var.

Tips
