Foire à la Brocante de Marcey-les-Grèves

The Foire à la Brocante de Marcey-les-Grèves (50300) is one of the most significant flea market events in the Pays d'Avranches. With 150 exhibitors, it is among the most well-stocked events in the sector, attracting both private sellers and professional dealers from all over the Manche department and neighboring departments.

The number of exhibitors — 150 — guarantees a very diverse offering for visitors: antique and contemporary furniture, tableware and table arts, clothing for all generations, old books and documents, toys and games from all eras, trinkets and curiosities, tools and agricultural equipment, paintings and prints, jewelry and watches, vinyl records and cassettes, and many other items. Bargain hunters will not be disappointed by the extent of the offerings.

The fair — a term that emphasizes the event's ambition, which is greater than that of a simple car boot sale — is carefully organized by local associations in Marcey-les-Grèves. The organization is responsible for exhibitor setup, security, and entertainment, to offer visitors a quality event in a spirit of Norman conviviality.

The location of Marcey-les-Grèves, on the edge of the Baie du Mont-Saint-Michel, adds extra appeal to this flea market for tourists visiting the region. Many of them include this stop in their itinerary for visiting the UNESCO site.
