Traditional fair and flea market in South-Vendée
The L'Hermenault Old-Style Fair combines a flea market with re-enactments of traditional crafts and know-how. An annual event in this South-Vendée village, expected early September 2026. A lovely immersion in traditional Vendée — craftspeople, bargain hunters and rural activities.
An atypical event held every September in this South-Vendée village. It blends a classic flea market and re-enactments of old trades and traditions: craftspeople, producers, rural activities, old tools, forgotten crafts. 2026 edition expected in September.
Private and artisan vendors offer the usual flea-market mix plus specifics: old tools, traditional tableware, authentic brocante. Village-fête atmosphere valorising local heritage.
A small commune of around 1,400 in the Vendée plain west of Fontenay-le-Comte. Fine heritage including a castle and church. Pleasant countryside of crops and woods.
The "Foire à l'ancienne" concept goes beyond a flea market: for a day, trades, know-how and traditions come alive. Blacksmiths, chair weavers, clog-makers, wood turners, basket weavers demonstrate. Food and activities complete the day.
South-Vendée gateway: Renaissance Fontenay-le-Comte, Marais poitevin, Maillezais Abbey, Mervent-Vouvant forest.
