Courçon Vintage Festival

The Courçon Vintage Festival: Retro-style flea market in Aunis

Every September, the village of Courçon, in the heart of the Marais poitevin and Aunis, buzzes to the rhythm of the Courçon Vintage Festival. This event, at the crossroads of traditional flea markets and vintage festivals, attracts lovers of retro objects, period furniture, and vintage clothing from all over Charente-Maritime and neighboring departments.

A concept combining flea market and vintage spirit

The Courçon Vintage Festival stands out from classic flea markets with its resolutely retro and vintage theme. Exhibitors are selected for the quality and originality of their merchandise: furniture from the 50s to the 70s, period clothing, vinyl records, old advertising posters, designer lighting, decorative objects, and curiosities. The event skillfully blends flea market professionals and passionate individuals, creating a unique atmosphere where each stand tells a story.

Courçon, a characterful village in the Marais poitevin

Courçon is a commune in Charente-Maritime located in the Aunis plain, at the gateway to the Marais poitevin. Known for its renowned summer flea market throughout the region, the village has interesting architectural heritage with its market halls and stone houses. The bucolic setting of the village, with streets lined with Charentais houses and the market square, offers an ideal backdrop for this vintage festival, which is part of the local bargain-hunting tradition.

Entertainment and catering

Beyond the flea market, the festival offers retro-inspired musical entertainment, creating a festive and relaxed atmosphere. On-site catering, provided by local producers and associations, allows visitors to eat while browsing the stalls. Local products from Aunis—Pineau des Charentes, troussepinette, goat cheese—complete this convivial experience.
