Collioure Antique Dealers Fair

An antique dealers fair in a royal castle

Each year at All Saints' Day, the Royal Castle of Collioure becomes the stage for one of the most beautiful antique dealers fairs in the south of France. For four days, from October 29 to November 1, 2026, around thirty professional antique dealers from all over France take over the historic rooms and courtyards of this medieval fortress overlooking the Mediterranean, transforming the castle into a showcase for their finest pieces.

Exceptional pieces

The exhibitors, selected for the quality, authenticity, and diversity of their collections, offer a remarkable ensemble of art objects, paintings, antique furniture, sculptures, silverware, ceramics, jewelry, horology, Asian art, and curiosities. The collections mainly cover the 18th, 19th, and 20th centuries, with pieces ranging from Louis XV style to 1950s furniture, including Empire, Restoration, Second Empire, Art Nouveau, and Art Deco.

The Royal Castle, a historic setting

Built in the 13th century and modified by Vauban in the 17th, the Royal Castle of Collioure offers an absolutely incomparable setting for this antique dealers fair. Residence of the kings of Majorca and then the kings of Aragon, this major historical monument dominates the bay of Collioure and its colorful houses dear to the Fauvist painters. Visitors stroll between the stands in the vaulted rooms, passages, inner courtyards, and terraces that offer spectacular views of the Mediterranean and the bell tower-lighthouse of Collioure.

A 30-year heritage

The Collioure Antique Dealers Fair is the heir to L'Automne des Antiquaires, created in 1993 by the City of Collioure. Since 2024, the event has been held within the prestigious walls of the Royal Castle during the All Saints' school holidays, becoming one of the cultural highlights of the autumn season on the Côte Vermeille. Visitors can take advantage of their visit to also discover the old town of Collioure, its Notre-Dame-des-Anges church, and its coves where Matisse and Derain invented Fauvism.
