Amicale Laïque Flea Market in Saint-Saturnin-lès-Avignon

A long-standing Amicale Laïque event

On Saturday 28 March 2026, the Amicale Laïque of Saint-Saturnin-lès-Avignon held its annual flea market at La Pastourelle hall. About 100 exhibitors and many hunters from the Avignon area gathered in the usual early-spring atmosphere.

Amicales Laïques are historic French associations born around early 20th-century state schools. Like elsewhere, the Amicale in Saint-Saturnin plays a key role in local life: cultural, sporting and festive events, school projects, children's and adult classes. The annual flea market is a flagship fundraiser for year-round activities.

The La Pastourelle venue

One of Saint-Saturnin's main public venues, spacious and functional, hosts associative, festive and cultural events. Suits medium-sized flea markets (around 100 sellers), with nearby parking and easy access. Indoors means weather-proof — a plus in late March.

What to find

• Varied private-seller bric-à-brac
• Adults' and kids' clothes
• Toys, games, books, comics, DVDs
• Tableware, dinnerware, décor
• Small furniture, storage
• Vinyl, CDs, books, magazines
• Vintage and Provençal curios
