Farfouille de May-sur-Orne

A traditional May 8th flea market

The Farfouille de May-sur-Orne is held every year on May 8th, Victory Day 1945, in the center of May-sur-Orne. This festive and popular event transforms the village streets into a huge open-air flea market, attracting families, bargain hunters, and curious visitors from all over the Caen area.

The Football Club, historic organizer

It is the Football Club de May-sur-Orne that has been organizing this event for many years. Club volunteers ensure logistics, exhibitor reception, and the refreshment stand, making this flea market a moment of village conviviality as well as a commercial event. The proceeds contribute to financing the club's sports activities.

150 exhibitors in the heart of the village

Around 150 exhibitors set up along the streets of the village center and in the school parking lot. Professional flea market dealers, individuals looking to clear out their attics, and village residents mingle in a relaxed atmosphere. You can find everything: dishes, trinkets, books, toys, clothes, tools, furniture, and collector's items.

May-sur-Orne, a village south of Caen

May-sur-Orne is a commune in the Orne valley, about ten kilometers south of Caen. Formerly a mining village, the commune has retained a rural and peaceful character that is perfectly suited to this type of popular event. The green setting of the Orne valley adds to the charm of this outdoor bargain hunting day.
