Grand La Puye May Day Flea Market
The big May Day event with 150 sellers
About La Puye Flea Market
On 1 May 2026, La Puye hosts its grand annual flea market with 150 sellers, one of the biggest in the Vienne-Gartempe area. Set in the village streets, the event draws bargain hunters and visitors from across the region for a typical Poitou spring day of chining, near the Lussac-les-Châteaux state forest.
A major May Day rendezvous in Vienne
La Puye is a small commune in the Vienne department, in the Vienne-Gartempe area, some thirty kilometres east of Poitiers and 15 km from Chauvigny. Despite its modest size (c. 700 inhabitants), the village organises each 1 May one of the largest flea markets of eastern Vienne, with 150 sellers. The 2026 edition takes place on Friday 1 May.
150 sellers, a wide choice
With 150 pitches, La Puye plays with the big names. Private sellers clearing attics, a few pro brocanteurs, occasionally craftspeople: the mix gives the event its eclectic character.
- Old and rustic furniture
- Crockery, porcelain, earthenware
- Tools, farm and garden items
- Books, old papers, postcards
- Vinyls, records, cassettes
- Vintage clothes, old textiles
- Toys, games, comics

The village of La Puye
La Puye is known for hosting the mother house of the Daughters of the Cross (Saint-André), a 19th-century congregation. Its castle and chapel dominate the village. Rural identity, active community fabric.
