Gandalou Flea Market - Castelsarrasin

An institution of Castelsarrasin spring

The Gandalou neighbourhood, a former village attached to Castelsarrasin, keeps alive this beloved tradition every spring: the flea market organised by its dynamic Festival Committee.

Halle Occitane, a heritage setting

Built in 1997 for the fat market, the 1,805 sqm Halle Occitane offers an ideal sheltered volume. Located at the town centre entrance, near the canal, port and railway station, it is easily accessible.

Private sellers and treasure hunters

Mainly private sellers from Castelsarrasin and nearby villages. Toys, lightly worn clothing, china, tools, books and records. The €2.50 per linear metre rate encourages diverse stalls.

A neighbourhood with character

Gandalou, once an independent commune, has kept its church, festival committee and identity. This event animates the neighbourhood as much as the wider town.

Tips for bargain hunting

Arrive early for the best pieces and easy parking. The hall is covered, so weather is not an issue. Bring cash and a sturdy bag.
