The great Lily of the Valley rendezvous at the Riaille lake
On 1 May, the iconic Lily of the Valley and Labour Day, the car park of Apt's Riaille lake hosts a major flea market bringing together around 100 exhibitors. On the edge of the leisure park, bargain hunters and private sellers flock to this classic Pays d'Apt event combining festive and spring atmosphere.
On 1 May, Apt residents leave the Lily of the Valley fields to gather at the Riaille lake car park for one of the largest flea markets of the season. With about 100 exhibitors expected, it draws bargain hunters from across the Luberon and beyond.
Unlike other Apt flea markets held on park lawns, the May Day edition spreads across the large paved car park. This arrangement makes it easier for exhibitors to unload from their vehicles and accommodate many stalls in good conditions. The nearby park remains open for a picnic or lakeside walk.
With nearly 100 private exhibitors, the variety is wide: adult and children's clothing, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, small furniture, baby gear, sports goods, decor, tools and some vintage items. A rich hunting ground perfect for the whole family.
May Day, Labour Day and Lily of the Valley day, traditionally marks the start of the warm season in Provence. After the morning hunt, enjoy lunch on an Apt terrace, explore Roussillon's ochres or the perched villages of Bonnieux and Saint-Saturnin-lès-Apt. A perfect day combining brocante and Luberon discovery.
The 1 May 2026 flea market returns to the Apt lake car park with about 100 exhibitors. A flagship Labour Day event, it gathers bargain hunters and private sellers for a full day of browsing in the Riaille leisure park setting northwest of Apt.
