Giant Summer Flea Market and Car Boot Sale

The Big Summer Event for Bargain Hunters in Allevard

Every first Sunday in August, the Place de la Résistance in Allevard-les-Bains hosts the Giant Summer Flea Market and Car Boot Sale. This major event attracts bargain enthusiasts from all over the Grésivaudan valley and beyond, taking advantage of the summer tourist influx in this renowned spa town.

A Wide Selection of Items and Curiosities

Exhibitors, a mix of individuals and flea market professionals, offer a very diverse range of items: antique furniture, tableware, trinkets, vintage clothing, books, vinyl records, period toys, and curiosities of all kinds. The "giant" format of this event allows visitors to spend several hours browsing the stalls, always with the possibility of finding a rare gem.

Allevard-les-Bains, a Mountain Setting

Nestled at an altitude of 475 meters at the foot of the Belledonne massif, Allevard-les-Bains has been a recognized spa and climatic resort since the 19th century. The exceptional natural setting, between fir forests and snow-capped peaks, gives this flea market a unique atmosphere. Visitors can extend their day with a stroll in the thermal park or explore the surrounding hiking trails.

Refreshments and Food

Refreshments and light meals are available on-site to allow bargain hunters to eat and pleasantly extend their summer treasure hunting day.
