Spring Fair Flea Market of Saint-Georges-lès-Baillargeaux

The Spring Fair flea market, a Haut-Poitou tradition

The Spring Fair flea market in Saint-Georges-lès-Baillargeaux is one of the most anticipated spring rendezvous for bargain hunters in the Grand Poitiers area. Organised directly by the commune and officially announced on saint-georges-les-baillargeaux.fr, it is part of the wider Spring Fair that animates the commune each year. The 2026 edition takes place on Sunday 19 April in the heart of the village centre, turning the streets and squares into a vast open-air market.

The event draws a family audience from nearby communes (Jaunay-Marigny, Chasseneuil-du-Poitou, Dissay, Poitiers) and beyond. Serious bargain hunters arrive early to spot the best finds while families browse throughout the day.

What to find

• Children's and adult clothing, accessories
• Books, comics, second-hand toys and games
• Decor, knick-knacks, old tableware
• Small furniture, collectables
• Baby gear, craft supplies
• Vinyl records, old papers, postcards

Saint-Georges-lès-Baillargeaux, a dynamic Grand Poitiers commune

Located about 20 km north-east of Poitiers, between the Clain valley and the Futuroscope, Saint-Georges-lès-Baillargeaux has around 4,000 residents and retains a characterful village centre. Part of the Grand Poitiers urban community, it radiates across the Haut-Poitou. Access from the A10 motorway (Futuroscope exit) is direct.

The Spring Fair is a defining event of local life: it traditionally marks the return of warmer days and opens the season of local gatherings.

Tips for bargain hunters

Arrive early for the best pieces, bring small cash (private sellers do not have card terminals), and wear comfortable shoes as the event stretches across several streets.

For exhibitors

Registration is handled by the town hall of Saint-Georges-lès-Baillargeaux. A registration form is available on the commune's website (Inscription_vide-grenier_2026.pdf) to be returned to the town hall. Places are limited.

Extending your visit

Futuroscope is just a few minutes away, as is the Clain valley. Poitiers, with its Saint-Pierre cathedral, Notre-Dame-la-Grande and historic quarter, makes a great complement.
