Foire à la Brocante de Saint-Flour

The Foire à la Brocante de Saint-Flour: a summer event for bargain hunters

Every Wednesday in July and August, the Place de la Liberté in Saint-Flour, in the lower town, hosts a flea market that exclusively brings together professionals in the flea market and antique trade. This weekly event, organized by the City of Saint-Flour, transforms the square into a vast market of old objects and curiosities, much to the delight of holidaymakers and locals.

Saint-Flour, a medieval city in Cantal

A sub-prefecture of Cantal, Saint-Flour is a city of character perched on a basalt promontory overlooking the plain. The lower town, at the foot of the rocky spur, is the lively commercial district where markets and fairs are concentrated. The Place de la Liberté, spacious and easily accessible, offers an ideal setting for the stalls of flea market dealers, close to shops and cafe terraces.

Selected professionals

The Saint-Flour flea market is reserved for professional dealers, guaranteeing the quality and authenticity of the items offered. You can find antique furniture, Auvergne folk art objects, tableware, trinkets, old books, and many other treasures. Each Wednesday brings its share of new discoveries, as exhibitors regularly update their offerings throughout the season.

A complement to the traditional market

The flea market is part of the trading tradition of Saint-Flour, a city of fairs since the Middle Ages. It complements the traditional Saturday morning market and the numerous summer events organized by the municipality. For holidaymakers staying in the area, it is an excellent opportunity to combine bargain hunting with discovering the heritage of Saint-Flour.
