The annual flea market of La Jonchère festival committee
La Jonchère is a small rural commune of southern Vendée, in the Luçon canton, near the Marais Poitevin and the Baie de l'Aiguillon coastline. Each year, its festival committee organises a flea market as part of the village fair. The 2025 edition took place on Sunday 27 July in the village centre.
This summer flea market reflects a strong tradition of Vendée community life: village fairs that punctuate the year and bring generations together around popular entertainment. In La Jonchère, the flea market is one of the highlights, completed by the bar, country-style catering and musical entertainment that extend the festivities into the evening.
The village fair is an institution in Vendée. It mobilises the festival committee, local associations, the town hall and volunteers around a programme mixing flea market, meals, children's entertainment, music and fireworks. In La Jonchère, this tradition endures thanks to an active associative fabric despite the small size (a few hundred inhabitants).
La Jonchère lies a few kilometres from Moutiers-les-Mauxfaits, in a rural zone where agriculture and green tourism coexist. Ideally located to radiate towards Luçon, Marais Poitevin or the Vendée coast (Jard-sur-Mer, La Tranche-sur-Mer, Longeville-sur-Mer) within twenty minutes. Its church and typical village centre offer an authentic setting.
Via D747 from Luçon, or D949 from Les Sables-d'Olonne. Free parking in the village, signposting in place by the committee.
After the flea market, visit the Baie de l'Aiguillon nature reserve, the Jard-sur-Mer beaches, or the classified village of Mareuil-sur-Lay. Luçon, Richelieu's former episcopal city, is worth a detour for its cathedral and Dumaine garden.
