Allex Flea Market Fair

The Allex Flea Market Fair: A Back-to-School Event in the Drôme

Every early September, the village of Allex hosts its annual flea market fair. This back-to-school event is an opportunity for treasure hunters in the Valence region and the Drôme valley to gather in a pleasant village setting, nestled between the foothills of the Vercors and the plains of the Drôme.

Flea Market and Fair: A Dual Appeal

Unlike a car boot sale, which is only for private individuals, the Allex flea market fair also welcomes professional dealers and antique dealers, thus offering a wider and more diverse selection. Antique furniture, ceramics, professional tools, vintage textiles, and decorative objects are displayed side-by-side on the stalls, in an atmosphere of a traditional market reminiscent of the great rural fairs of yesteryear.

Allex in the Drôme des Collines

Allex is a village of character in the Drôme des Collines, a natural region stretching between the Rhône valley to the west and the first foothills of the Vercors to the east. Its landscapes of wooded hills, lavender fields, and orchards make it an endearing territory, where outdoor events are particularly appreciated. The village has interesting architectural heritage, notably its Romanesque church and its local stone houses.

A Popular Back-to-School Event

The September flea market fair is one of the most anticipated community and commercial events in Allex. It symbolically marks the end of summer and the return to regular activities, while offering a last opportunity to enjoy the outdoors before autumn. Visitors often come from Valence, Crest, Loriol-sur-Drôme, and surrounding towns.
