The big autumn street sale of the Écusson, for four days of great deals in the heart of Montpellier
The Grand Bazar d'Automne is the autumn counterpart to the famous Grand Bazar de Printemps. For four days in October, nearly 300 stands invade the pedestrian streets of the Écusson for a giant street sale organized by the CCI Hérault and the City of Montpellier. Downtown retailers clear out their summer collections in a festive atmosphere punctuated by musical entertainment.
Every year in October, the Grand Bazar d'Automne offers Montpellier residents a second chance to find great deals in the historic center. The pedestrian streets of the Écusson, from the Place de la Comédie to the rue de la Loge, are transformed into a huge open-air market. Nearly 300 retailers set up their stalls to offer clothing, shoes, accessories, decorative items, and culinary specialties at unbeatable prices. Families and bargain hunters flock there from Wednesday morning to take advantage of the best selection.
The Grand Bazar is not just a simple street sale: it's a true festive event. Musical groups parade through the streets starting from the Place Saint-Côme, bringing a touch of cheer to this commercial event. Car boot sales organized by local associations complete the offering, allowing individuals to sell their everyday items alongside professionals. The terraces of the Écusson's cafes and restaurants are full, creating a rare buzz in the medieval district.
With its private mansions, shaded squares, and historic alleys, the Écusson is the jewel of Montpellier. The Grand Bazar d'Automne contributes to the liveliness of this historic city center, supported by the CCI Hérault and the municipality, which offer parking facilities at the Parking du Polygone. It's the ideal opportunity to (re)discover Montpellier's heritage while doing your autumn shopping.
The Grand Bazar d'Automne returns in October 2026 to Montpellier's Écusson. Four days of street sale with approximately 300 stands, musical entertainment, and parking facilities.
