Grande Brocante et Vide-Grenier de Pontenx-les-Forges

The Grande Brocante of Pontenx-les-Forges: a spring event

Pontenx-les-Forges, a forest commune in the Landes located between Biscarrosse and Mimizan, organizes its large flea market and car boot sale every spring at the Guilleman sports center. This major event, distinct from the August 15th car boot sale, is the main gathering for treasure hunters in the commune.

An attractive mix of flea market and car boot sale

The originality of this event lies in its mixed nature: professional antique dealers and private individuals mingle in the same aisles, offering a particularly wide range of items. Sought-after flea market pieces—antique furniture, vintage objects, collectible tableware—are found alongside classic car boot sale items: clothing, toys, books, and trinkets at low prices.

A preserved forest setting

The Guilleman sports center, located on the edge of the pine forest, offers a vast and shaded space for this large flea market. The aisles between the stalls allow for comfortable browsing, protected from the sun. This natural setting, typical of the Haute Lande, gives a unique character to this event, distinguishing it from town center flea markets.

Practical Information

The large flea market is held in the spring, usually on a Saturday. Setup begins in the early morning. Entry is free for visitors. Refreshments and food are available on site. Parking is available near the sports center.

A dynamic commune for treasure hunters

Pontenx-les-Forges offers a particularly rich calendar of flea markets and car boot sales throughout the year. This large spring flea market is in addition to the August 15th car boot sale at the airial, events at the Guilleman sports center, and the Rétro'Folies d'Aquitaine for vintage vehicle enthusiasts. This diversity of events attracts treasure hunters from all over the Landes coast and the Pays de Born to this forest commune with its remarkable industrial heritage.
