Guignes May Day Flea Market

The May Day Flea Market: a Brie tradition

Every 1 May, a public holiday celebrating Labor Day and lily of the valley, the town of Guignes (77390) organizes its annual flea market at the Square du Belvédère. This event, now a tradition for residents and local bargain hunters, symbolically marks the opening of the flea market season in Seine-et-Marne. The 2026 edition will take place on Friday 1 May 2026.

Square du Belvédère: a pleasant setting in the town center

The Square du Belvédère, located at the heart of Guignes, offers an ideal setting for a flea market: an open space on a human scale, easily accessible, surrounded by shops and the village atmosphere. Exhibitors set up their stalls under the trees and along the paths.

Guignes, a dynamic French Brie town

Located halfway between Melun and Brie-Comte-Robert, Guignes is a dynamic town in the French Brie, rich in historical heritage and active local life. Its town center has retained its old-world character, with its church, weekly market, and local shops.

A car boot sale open to all

The May Day flea market welcomes both private sellers and semi-professional dealers. This mix ensures a good variety of items: second-hand furniture, clothing of all sizes, toys and children's items, books, comics, magazines, dishware, trinkets and decor, tools, CDs, vinyl records, DVDs.

A festive day to combine

1 May is a public holiday ideal for family outings. After the Guignes flea market, visitors can extend their day by discovering the surroundings: the Crécy forest for a walk, the Château de Blandy-les-Tours, or the typical Brie villages. With a bit more time, the medieval city of Provins (UNESCO) is also accessible in less than an hour.
