Le Mottager - Flea Market and Plant Swap of La Motte-d'Aigues

Le Mottager, two events in one

The name Le Mottager plays on the combination of La Motte-d'Aigues and the French word for kitchen garden. The concept: linking a traditional flea market with a plant, seed and cutting swap, plus gardening tips. An original formula that appeals to both classic hunters and Provençal gardening enthusiasts, in a friendly and eco-responsible spirit.

A small village with a bucolic setting

La Motte-d'Aigues is a human-scale village of the Pays d'Aigues, characterised by its communal pond, the green lung of the village. Around this shaded pond, the ideal framework for a relaxed event unfolds, far from the bustle of large urban brocantes.

Plant swap: the gardening side

The plant swap is especially popular: participants bring perennial divisions, surplus seedlings, rooted cuttings, seeds collected the previous autumn, and leave with other varieties. Exchanges are money-free, in a spirit of sharing among enthusiasts.

Classic flea market

On the brocante side, the event keeps the spirit of a village flea market: private exhibitors, household bric-a-brac, clothing, toys, books, tableware, small furniture, decorative items.
