Marché aux Puces de Sainte-Croix-en-Plaine

A flea market in the heart of the Alsatian vineyard

The Marché aux Puces de Sainte-Croix-en-Plaine invites collectors and bargain hunters to meet outdoors in the village each year for a day of discoveries and good deals. The event takes place in the streets and spaces of the village of Sainte-Croix-en-Plaine, a commune in the Alsatian plain located a few kilometers south of Colmar, on the edge of the Alsatian vineyard.

Sainte-Croix-en-Plaine, between plain and vineyards

With its approximately 2,500 inhabitants, Sainte-Croix-en-Plaine is a typical village in the Alsatian plain, bordered to the east by the Rhine plain and to the west by the vineyard that runs at the foot of the Vosges. Visitors who come for the flea market can enjoy, in addition to their purchases, superb views of the vineyard and, in clear weather, of the first ridges of the Vosges. The atmosphere is that of Alsatian village markets: simple, warm, unpretentious, with a strong local accent.

Flea market, car boot sale, and finds of all kinds

The flea market brings together individuals and small vendors. You can find everything: clothing and textiles, antique and modern furniture, tableware and table arts, trinkets and decorative objects, books, records, and cassettes, toys and games, tools and garden equipment, used appliances and multimedia. It is an open and general market, ideal for curious flea market enthusiasts and families looking for bargains.

A green and Alsatian setting

Taking place outdoors, the market takes advantage of the good June weather to offer a particularly pleasant atmosphere. The proximity of the Alsatian vineyard and the Vosges ensures a high-quality natural setting. From Colmar, accessible in a few minutes, the site attracts visitors from all over the region. Friendliness is the order of the day, with usually a refreshment stand and light catering provided by the organizers or a local association.
