Déballage Marchand de Caen

The Déballage Marchand de Caen: The Monthly Meeting for Professionals

Each month, the Parc des Expositions de Caen hosts the Déballage Marchand, an event exclusively for professionals in the flea market and antique trade. This morning event, held from 8:00 AM to 1:00 PM, attracts enthusiasts of old objects and discerning bargain hunters looking for rare and authentic pieces.

Passionate Professionals

Between 50 and 100 authentic professionals gather each month to offer treasures from yesteryear:

• Period and stylish objects
• Antique and character furniture
• Collectible and curiosity items
• Old books, prints, and engravings
• Antique tableware, earthenware, and porcelain
• Trinkets, glassware, and lighting
• Folk art and craft objects

A Popular Morning Format

The sale starts very early: professionals set up from 5:00 AM, and the first visitors can access the site from 8:00 AM. This morning format is particularly appreciated by resellers and collectors who want to get first pick of the arrivals. At 1:00 PM, the sale closes, leaving the rest of the day free for purchases and negotiations.

The Parc des Expositions de Caen

The Parc des Expositions, located at 17 rue Joseph Philippon, offers a spacious setting with indoor and outdoor areas. Parking is free and accessible for people with reduced mobility. A refreshment stand offers hot drinks and fast food for early visitors.
