The Grande Foire Artisanale à la Brocante et Antiquités de Pont-Salomon

Pont-Salomon, a small commune in the Semène valley in Haute-Loire, has become a national benchmark in the world of flea markets thanks to its Grande Foire Artisanale. Organized every first weekend of September by the Comité des Fêtes et d'Animations de Pont-Salomon, this event is ranked among the 5 largest flea markets in the whole of France.

With around 500 exhibitors and attendance ranging between 40,000 and 45,000 visitors over the weekend, the Pont-Salomon fair is an unmissable event for enthusiasts of flea markets, antiques, and crafts from all over the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. This exceptional reach for a town of this size demonstrates the organizational expertise developed over the years.
