Foire à la Brocante et Vide-Grenier — Jargeau

The Jargeau Flea Market

Jargeau, a small town in the Loiret region famous for its bridge over the Loire and its role in the liberation of Orléans by Joan of Arc, hosts a flea market every first Sunday of August that literally takes over the town centre. It is one of the most popular summer events in the Orléans valley.

The market hall and the squares: two complementary spaces

The Jargeau Flea Market is distinguished by its organisation into two complementary spaces. Under the market hall, professional dealers set up with their selection of antiques, furniture and collector's items. Around the town, in the streets and squares, the car boot sale for individuals takes over the mail Carnot, the Grande-Rue and the Martroi, Grand-Cloître and Petit-Cloître squares.

This organisation allows all types of visitors to find what they are looking for: antique lovers and those seeking rare items mingle with bargain hunters looking for affordable second-hand goods. The entire event covers a considerable area, transforming the historic heart of Jargeau into a huge open-air market.

Jargeau, town on the Loire

Jargeau is a town steeped in history, known for being the site of Joan of Arc's victory over the English in June 1429. Its medieval bridge, market hall and half-timbered houses bear witness to a rich past. The town is also known for its 'andouilles', a local charcuterie specialty renowned throughout the Loiret region.

Located on the banks of the Loire, Jargeau benefits from an exceptional natural setting. The Loire quays, accessible on foot from the town centre, add to the charm of this summer flea market day in a Loire Valley site classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
