Grande Brocante Lions Club de Royan

The Grande Brocante du Lions Club: Treasure Hunting Facing the Ocean in Royan

Every year in May, the Lions Club Royan Doyen organizes its Grande Brocante on the seafront of Royan, one of the most beautiful spots on the Côte de Beauté. 50 to 100 exhibitors, individuals and professionals, take over the Promenade Oubangui Chari, the Esplanade Kerimel de Kerveno, and the Promenade Dugua de Mons for an exceptional day of flea marketing facing the Atlantic.

A Treasure Hunting Route on the Quays of Royan

The seafront of Royan offers a spectacular setting for this Grande Brocante. Stalls stretch for several hundred meters along the promenade, with views of the Grande Conche, the iconic beach of the seaside resort. You can find antique furniture, crockery, trinkets, vintage clothing, books, paintings, tools, and all sorts of curiosities. Coffee is offered to exhibitors, and a refreshment stand with food is available on site.

Royan: The Pearl of the Côte de Beauté

A legendary seaside resort in Charente-Maritime, Royan is famous for its five sandy beaches, its 1950s architecture—including the covered market classified as a historic monument and the Notre-Dame church—and its incomparable summer atmosphere. The Grande Brocante du Lions Club is part of the festive and commercial tradition of this ocean-facing city, attracting treasure hunters and strollers from all over Nouvelle-Aquitaine.

A Strong Charitable Commitment

The Lions Club Royan Doyen donates all funds raised during this event to its charitable causes: aid to people in need, support for local associations, and actions for vision and the environment. Participating in this flea market, whether as an exhibitor or a visitor, means contributing to these solidarity missions while enjoying a day of treasure hunting by the ocean.
