Chelles Garage Sale - Maurice Baquet Stadium

The Maurice Baquet Stadium Garage Sale: A Major Chelles Gathering

Every spring, Maurice Baquet stadium hosts one of the major garage sales in Chelles, an event awaited by residents of this city of nearly 55,000 inhabitants, one of the largest in Seine-et-Marne. This event is part of the calendar of popular events in the municipality and attracts local bargain hunters and visitors from neighboring municipalities in the Marne-la-Vallée area. The spring 2026 edition will be held on Sunday, March 29, marking the launch of the Chelles garage sale season.

A Stadium Transformed into an Immense Open-Air Market

Maurice Baquet stadium offers an ideal setting to host a large flea market event: vast and open space, on-site parking, accessibility, and an airy sports environment. This configuration allows a large number of exhibitors to deploy their stalls in good conditions, and visitors to circulate comfortably between the stands.

An Appreciated Spring Garage Sale

The timing of the garage sale, late March, has several advantages. It is a period when Chelles residents feel the need to sort through after winter, when the first fine days make you want to go out, and when bargain hunters are particularly active after the winter lull. The offer reflects this seasonality: spring and summer clothing taken out of closets, garden equipment, sports equipment for the warm season, outdoor toys for children, bicycles and scooters serviced during winter.

Chelles, a Major City in Northwestern Brie

Chelles is a municipality of nearly 55,000 inhabitants, one of the most populated in Seine-et-Marne.

An Accessible Bargain-Hunting Outing in Île-de-France

Chelles' location makes it an easy destination for a garage sale outing from Paris or the inner suburbs. Visitors can easily combine their visit with the discovery of local heritage or the banks of the Marne, appreciated walking areas.
