Bormes-les-Mimosas Antique Fair and Flea Market

A spring fair at the heart of Bormes

Each spring, Place Gambetta in Bormes-les-Mimosas becomes a vast hunting ground for the antique fair and flea market. Saturday 11 April 2026, from 9am to 5pm for the public (7am for sellers), the event brings professional antique dealers and private sellers together in a setting famous for its mimosas, bougainvilleas and ochre façades — one of the "plus beaux villages de France".

Placed early in the season, it draws a mixed audience: loyal locals, strollers from nearby Le Lavandou and Easter holidaymakers. Often the right time to secure quality pieces before peak season.

What to find

A particularly varied offering, balanced between pros and private sellers:

• Old and vintage Provençal furniture
• Southern faience, ceramics and glassware
• Old linens, embroidery, Provençal textiles
• Old books, postcards, old papers
• Antique jewellery, watches and silverware
• Old toys and curios
• Private: clothes, crockery, toys, decor

The setting

Bormes-les-Mimosas is an emblematic Var coastal village perched above the bay. Cobbled lanes, flowery squares and sea views make it a must. Central, shaded Place Gambetta is the traditional venue for major commercial and cultural events.

Highlights

• Professional/private mix
• One of France's most beautiful villages
• Wide opening hours (9am-5pm)
