Flea market in Laon (ville basse)

The flea market of Laon ville basse: treasure hunting at the foot of the medieval city

The Halles de Laon, located in the lower town of this famous hilltop city, host a flea market every spring organized by the Poker Club Laonnois. With 50 to 100 exhibitors, this event attracts bargain hunters in a unique setting, at the foot of the hill crowned by the Notre-Dame Cathedral.

Laon, an exceptional medieval city

Laon is one of the most beautiful medieval cities in northern France. Perched on its testemun hill, the upper town overlooks the Picardy plain with its 12th-century cathedral, ramparts, and ancient streets. The lower town, more commercial, benefits from the attractiveness of this exceptional heritage for its events like this spring flea market.

The Halles, a traditional market place

The Halles de Laon is a historic market place, ideal for hosting a flea market. The covered space provides shelter from spring weather, while the surroundings offer an outdoor extension when the weather permits. Free parking nearby makes access easy for visitors and exhibitors.

The Poker Club Laonnois, an unusual organizer

The Poker Club Laonnois, a dynamic local association, is organizing this flea market. This choice of an unusual organizer reflects the vitality of the Laon associative fabric, where clubs and associations actively contribute to the city's animation. The refreshments and food offered on site fund the association's activities.
