Longèves Flea Market

A flea market at the Marsh gateway

Longèves is a small South-Vendée commune, a few km from Fontenay-le-Comte and the Poitevin Marsh gateway. The Sunday 26 April 2026 flea market benefits: visitors can combine morning chining with a punt ride in the Green Venice or a Maillezais visit.

Village spirit

Small rural villages = social dimension. Coming out of winter, reconnecting, familiar faces. Local sellers, soft prices, laid-back atmosphere. The refreshments stand is the heart of the event.

What to find

• All-age clothes
• Toys and games
• Tableware, bric-a-brac, small furniture
• Books, comics, records
• Garden and DIY gear
• Baby items
