Die-cast car and vintage toy exchange fair

The Besançon miniature and vintage toy exchange fair

For over three decades, Besançon has hosted one of the most renowned miniature and vintage toy exchange fairs in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region every autumn. Organized at Micropolis, the convention center of the Comtoise capital, this event brings together exhibitors from all over France and neighboring countries to offer their passion to collectors of all levels.

A Rich Universe for Collectors

The offerings at this fair are remarkably rich: miniature cars of all brands and scales (Dinky Toys, Corgi, Solido, Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Burago, Eligor...), miniature trucks and construction vehicles, electric trains, miniature planes and boats, figurines, vintage tin toys, old board games, and many other collectible items. Enthusiasts of recent miniatures mingle with hunters of rare pieces from the 1950s-1970s in a passionate and friendly atmosphere.

A Multigenerational Event

The Besançon die-cast car and vintage toy exchange fair welcomes visitors of all ages. The oldest collectors come to find the toys of their childhood, while younger generations are introduced to the passion for miniatures by passionate sellers ready to share their knowledge. Admission is set at €3 (free for children under 12), ensuring open access to the widest audience.
