Fort-Mahon-Plage Tourism Office Flea Market

The family seaside resort flea market

Fort-Mahon-Plage is one of the most appreciated family seaside resorts in northern France, between the bay of Authie and the bay of Somme. Every summer, the Tourism Office organises two major flea markets that punctuate the season: one in late June at the opening of the summer period, and one in September just before the end of the season.

Two strategic dates in the season

The late June flea market marks the opening of the main summer season. The September edition plays the end-of-season card: exhibitors take advantage of this last opportunity before autumn.

Fort-Mahon-Plage, a preserved seaside resort

Fort-Mahon-Plage is a commune of fewer than 1,500 inhabitants located at the extreme north of the Somme department. The resort stretches along a long sandy beach, bordered by a remarkable dune massif (Marquenterre dunes) classified Grand Site de France.

A typical offering of coastal flea markets

The classic offering is enriched by items linked to the coast: old photographs of the resort, postcards, maritime objects (anchors, buoys, boat models), shells, regional earthenware.

Combining bargain hunting and coast discovery

After the bargain-hunting morning, head to the beach for a walk or swim, or to the nearby Marquenterre ornithological park.
