May 8th Flea Market of Belleville-en-Beaujolais (31st edition)

31 years of flea market tradition on the banks of the Saône

The Belleville-en-Beaujolais May 8th Flea Market has become legendary in the Rhône-Alpes flea market world. Since its first edition in 1996, it has taken over the Quai Charles Voisin along the Saône every year to offer an impressive selection of antique furniture, trinkets, tableware, books, clothes, tools and collectibles. In 2026, the event celebrates its 31st edition, confirming its status as a must-attend for bargain hunters and antique lovers from the Beaujolais and the whole of the Rhône. The atmosphere on the quays is unique: hundreds of metres of stalls, the breeze off the Saône, and a festive mood that brings together regulars and visitors from far and wide.

Belleville-en-Beaujolais, the capital of the Beaujolais on the Saône

Belleville-en-Beaujolais is the capital of the Beaujolais, a town of nearly 10,000 inhabitants built on the banks of the Saône, halfway between Lyon and Mâcon. A land of great wines — Beaujolais, Morgon, Brouilly, Régnié — the town is also a thriving commercial and cultural centre with its old shopping streets, weekly market and architectural heritage. The surrounding wineries and estates welcome wine lovers and tourists seeking authenticity throughout the year. The Saône, which flows alongside the town, offers lovely walks and peaceful views of the Beaujolais hills.
