The Divonne-les-Bains Flea Market: A Monthly Event with Timeless Charm

For over fifteen years, on the first Saturday of each month, the Espace Perdtemps in Divonne-les-Bains hosts a flea market that has become an institution in the Pays de Gex. This monthly market combines antiques, collectibles, used books, CDs, vinyl records, and curiosities of all kinds, in a pleasant setting in the heart of this renowned spa town.

A Place Steeped in History and Charm

The Espace Perdtemps, located near the church and behind the post office in Divonne-les-Bains, offers an intimate and picturesque setting for the flea market. This small tree-lined square is perfect for strolling among the stalls of the dealers. Divonne-les-Bains, a spa town nestled at the foot of the Jura mountains with views of Lake Geneva and the Alps, adds a special charm to this now-classic local outing.

Antiques, Books, and Vinyl Records

The exhibitors at the Divonne flea market offer a varied range of items: antique furniture, silverware, collectible tableware, vintage jewelry, as well as a significant selection of books, comic books, CDs, DVDs, and vinyl records. Lovers of reading and music regularly find rare items at attractive prices. The book fair, held concurrently, attracts bibliophiles from the Franco-Genevan region.

An Adapted Schedule

The flea market is held on the first Saturday of the month from March to December. In August, it is exceptionally held on the first Tuesday of the month. This adjustment allows for capitalizing on the summer influx of holidaymakers in this border town with Switzerland, a few kilometers from Geneva.
