Gentilly's great springtime swap meet and flea market
Every spring, the Foire au Troc de Gentilly transforms Place Henri Barbusse into a lively open-air market where over 300 private vendors sell, swap and bargain. Organised by the municipality, this family-friendly day draws bargain hunters in a warm and festive atmosphere. Free admission for all.
Each year in early May, Place Henri Barbusse in Gentilly becomes the scene of a vibrant open-air market. The Foire au Troc is organised by the city's Youth and Neighbourhood Life Department and brings together over 300 private vendors selling clothing, toys, books, kitchenware, small appliances and all manner of everyday objects at freely negotiated prices. It's a genuine community event rooted in the spirit of exchange and sustainability.
The event is exclusively for private individuals, ensuring an authentic, non-commercial atmosphere. Visitors browse freely from stall to stall, discover unexpected treasures and enjoy the festive spirit of the day. Food and drinks are available on site.
