Castelmayran Flea Market

1st May in Castelmayran: a spring classic

Tucked between the Garonne and the Quercy hills, Castelmayran is one of those Tarn-et-Garonne villages where the tradition of the flea market is firmly anchored in the calendar as a true spring ritual. Every 1st of May, the village centre transforms into a cheerful open-air gallery where private sellers and bargain hunters cross paths under the early morning sun.

An event run by the Amicale Féminine

The flea market is run by the Amicale Féminine of Castelmayran, a local association that plays an active role in the social and cultural life of the village. Volunteers welcome exhibitors from early morning, manage the pitches and run the refreshment bar, with proceeds helping to fund other events throughout the year.

What you can find

The flea market mainly brings together private individuals from the village and neighbouring communes selling their personal finds: mismatched crockery, children's clothing, toys, vinyl records, books, trinkets, small furniture, tools and kitchen accessories. A few occasional dealers also display their lots, ensuring that browsers can find anything from a forgotten plush toy to a piece of antique faience.

An authentic village atmosphere

The atmosphere is that of a village festive morning: smells of coffee and croissants, conversations in Occitan or French, reunions between residents and friendly haggling. A refreshment stand serves drinks, coffee and snacks, and lunch can be enjoyed on site.
