Marsais-Sainte-Radégonde Collectors Fair

Marsais-Sainte-Radégonde collectors fair

A Vendée plain commune between Fontenay-le-Comte and Sainte-Hermine, known for rural heritage and quiet setting. The collectors fair held regularly, listed on brocabrac.fr, specifically targets collectors: a multi-collection salon to find specific pieces, meet fellow enthusiasts and exchange.

Unlike general flea markets, collectors fairs are specialised events with professional and experienced private exhibitors. People sell, buy, but mostly trade, appraise and discuss recent finds.

What to find

• Old postcards (cartophilie)
• Stamps (philately)
• Coins, medals, banknotes (numismatics)
• Old papers, posters, engravings
• Beans, phone cards, caps (themed collections)
• Miniatures, figurines, scale models
• Advertising, enamel signs

The collectors fair world

Collectors fairs form a network parallel to flea markets: usually indoors, typically in the village hall, with numbered tables and pre-registered exhibitors. A quieter atmosphere than street flea markets, where people discuss rare pieces at length.
