Flea Market - Fossette Car Boot Sale

The Fossette Flea Market: A Fos-sur-Mer Weekend Institution

Since April 2003, the Marché aux Puces - Vide-Greniers de la Fossette has become an unmissable event for bargain hunters in the Bouches-du-Rhône region. Located on a private 8-hectare park at the Fossette roundabout, along the N568 national road, this flea market is one of the largest in the department in terms of area and attendance.

A Large-Scale Flea Market in the Heart of the Crau

Every Saturday, Sunday, and public holiday, from 6 am to 3 pm, up to 600 exhibitors set up on the site. Individuals clearing out their attics and professional antique dealers mingle in a popular and friendly atmosphere. You can find everything: second-hand furniture, crockery, clothing, books, toys, trinkets, tools, vinyl records, collectibles, and curiosities of all kinds. The earliest bargain hunters arrive at opening time at 6 am, knowing that most exhibitors start packing up around 12:30 pm.

Fos-sur-Mer, an Industrial Port City between Crau and the Mediterranean

Fos-sur-Mer is a commune in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, located at the western end of the Gulf of Fos, between the Crau plain and the Mediterranean. The city is world-renowned for its industrial and port zone (ZIP de Fos), created in the 1960s, which is one of the largest industrial and port complexes in Europe, covering over 10,000 hectares. Despite its industrial focus, Fos-sur-Mer retains a remarkable historical heritage with its medieval castle on the Hauture rock, mentioned as early as 923, and the Saint-Sauveur church. The Fossette district, designed in the 1970s as the city's future urban center, now hosts this flea market that enlivens local life every weekend.

A Well-Equipped Site for Visitors and Exhibitors

The Fossette Flea Market offers comprehensive facilities to welcome visitors and exhibitors in the best conditions. Visitor parking is free, with reserved spaces for people with reduced mobility and motorcycles. A food market and on-site catering allow you to refuel between finds.
