Bourgheim Flea Market

A flea market with village charm

The Bourgheim Flea Market is one of those spring events that make up the charm of Alsatian villages. Held every year in May in the heart of the village, it takes over the streets around the town hall in a relaxed atmosphere conducive to strolling. Private and semi-professional exhibitors offer a wide variety of items: second-hand clothing, antique and modern toys, dishes, books, vinyl records, furniture, knick-knacks, tools, decoration, childcare items and hidden treasures. Experienced bargain hunters and curious families flock from the opening to find a good deal or a rare item.

Bourgheim, wine-growing village of Bas-Rhin

Bourgheim is a small wine-growing village of about 900 inhabitants located in Bas-Rhin, a few kilometers south of Barr and very close to the Alsace Wine Route. Nestled in the plain at the foot of the vineyards, the village retains an authentic rural heritage with its half-timbered houses, its church and its traditional farms. Winegrowing holds an important place there and contributes to the local identity. Holding a flea market in May in this setting allows visitors to combine bargain hunting and discovery of the Alsatian wine-growing terroir, just a stone's throw from the famous villages of Mittelbergheim, Andlau or Obernai.

A cherished annual tradition

The Bourgheim flea market is an eagerly awaited annual event in the calendar of Bas-Rhin flea markets. Exhibitor registration is done with the town hall, with setup starting at 6am and the event running until 4pm. The village atmosphere, the proximity between exhibitors and visitors and the beauty of the setting contribute to the success of an event that perfectly reflects the Alsatian tradition of village markets.
