Thursday Flea Markets in August at Noirmoutier

The Thursday flea markets in August at Noirmoutier

A well-established summer tradition, among Vendée's most prized brocantes. Organised by the city, held every Thursday of August on Place Saint-Louis, historic heart of the commune. 2026 dates: Thursdays 6, 13, 20, 27 August.

Place Saint-Louis, bordered by the castle, Halles and restaurant terraces, offers an exceptional setting. Exhibitors — mixing professionals from across the region and private sellers — deploy stalls on cobbles under warm Atlantic summer light. Mood at once festive and studious: strolling tourists, regulars seeking the rare piece, expert collectors.

What to find

• Antique and vintage furniture
• Tableware, porcelain, glassware, silverware
• Antique jewellery, horology
• Old books, postcards, papers
• Vinyl records, CDs
• Paintings, prints, drawings
• Marine curios (island specialty: ship models, antique fishing gear, nautical charts)
• Vintage clothing, antique textiles
• Lighting, decorative objects
