The big annual fair with flea market in the heart of Chartreuse
The Foire de printemps de Miribel-les-Échelles, organized by the association Foire Animation, is a popular event celebrating its 40th edition in 2025. This festive day combines a flea market, tastings, exhibitions of old tractors, a gathering of 2CVs, rides, and entertainment for everyone. An event that animates the village in the heart of Chartreuse every first Saturday of May.
For four decades, the Foire de printemps de Miribel-les-Échelles has been one of the most anticipated events in Chartreuse. Organized by the association Foire Animation, this big festive day transforms the village into a vast space of conviviality where second-hand dealers, exhibitors, local producers, and all sorts of entertainment meet.
The fair is not limited to the flea market: exhibition of old tractors, gathering of 2CVs and vintage cars, tastings of local Chartroussin products, rides for children, and musical entertainment make up a complete program that delights young and old alike. The flea market remains, however, the heart of the event, with exhibitors offering antiques, vintage items, and bargains.
Located at the foot of the Chartreuse massif, between Grenoble and Chambéry, Miribel-les-Échelles is a charming town that has preserved its rural authenticity. Its weekly market, local shops, and dynamic associations bear witness to a rich local life. The spring fair is part of this tradition of village animation that makes mountain villages so charming.
The Foire Animation association, driven by passionate volunteers, mobilizes the entire village for this day. Shopkeepers, artisans, farmers, and residents come together to make this fair a moment of sharing and meeting. The success of the event, which has lasted for 40 years, testifies to the attachment of the inhabitants to this spring tradition.
The 41st Foire de printemps de Miribel-les-Échelles will be held on Saturday, May 2, 2026. Flea market, old tractors, tastings, and entertainment. Free admission.
