Noirmoutier Professional Brocante Fairs

Tourist Office professional fairs

Each pro offers their specialty: 18th-19th antiques, period furniture, marine items (strong local specialty), porcelain, glassware, silverware, antique jewellery, paintings, books, vinyl, comics, vintage clothes. Free entry, 9am-7pm.
