Fourqueux Flea Market

The Fourqueux Flea Market: a major Yvelines gathering

The Fourqueux flea market ranks among the largest bargain-hunting events in the Yvelines department. Held every year in June in the historic village of Fourqueux, now part of Saint-Germain-en-Laye as a delegated commune, it gathers around 450 exhibitors who set up their stalls in the streets and squares of the center. With such density of exhibitors and a public counted in thousands, Fourqueux stands as one of the major flea markets of western Paris.

A traditional event carried by the village

This flea market is a longstanding local tradition, organized in partnership with Fourqueux associations and the City of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. The day starts early, around 8:30am, when the first bargain hunters are already walking the lanes looking for rare pieces. Professional exhibitors, seasoned dealers, and private sellers rub shoulders in a friendly but serious atmosphere: at Fourqueux, people really come to find things. Until late afternoon, visitors browse the stalls searching for antique furniture, trinkets, tableware, jewelry, books, vintage clothes, and curiosities of all kinds.

Fourqueux, a charming setting near Saint-Germain-en-Laye

Merged since 2019 with Saint-Germain-en-Laye as a delegated commune, Fourqueux has kept its residential village character, nestled between the Saint-Germain forest and Marly. Its old houses, church, and central square offer a particularly pleasant backdrop for an outdoor flea market: no vast impersonal esplanade here, but lively streets that create a unique atmosphere.

Thousands of visitors and 450 exhibitors

With its 450 exhibitors, the Fourqueux flea market attracts huge crowds coming from Saint-Germain, Le Pecq, Marly-le-Roi, Versailles, and far beyond, even Paris. The event is renowned for the quality and variety of its offer. This diversity is what makes Fourqueux so beloved: passionate collectors and casual browsers alike find their happiness.

Getting there

Fourqueux is reachable by car via the A13 or N184, and by train via Saint-Germain-en-Laye RER A station, from which a bus ride or a short walk leads to the village center. Parking can be difficult on flea market day; better to arrive early or use public transport.
