Brocante and Car Boot Sale of Rocamadour

The Rocamadour Flea Market, hunt for treasures in one of France's greatest sites

Rocamadour (46500) is one of the most spectacular and most visited places in France. This troglodytic village clinging to a vertiginous cliff in the Alzou valley, a Christian pilgrimage site since the Middle Ages, attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world each year. Its flea market and car boot sale offers a unique opportunity: to hunt for treasures in this exceptional setting, steeped in history and spirituality.

Around thirty professional exhibitors

The Rocamadour flea market brings together a selection of approximately 32 professional exhibitors, offering antique furniture, tableware, collector's items, old books, and various curiosities. The quality of the selection reflects the tourist standing of the site and the discerning clientele it attracts. Visitors — pilgrims, tourists, treasure hunters — find themselves in a unique atmosphere that blends the reverence of a place of worship with the festive animation of a second-hand market.

Rocamadour, a jewel of Quercy medieval heritage

Clinging to a 150-meter limestone cliff, Rocamadour is a marvel of medieval architecture. The city is developed on several levels: the village at the foot of the cliff, the religious level with its seven sanctuaries including the famous Notre-Dame chapel housing the Black Virgin, and the castle overlooking it. The site is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site as part of the Routes of Santiago de Compostela. The flea market is naturally part of the cultural and tourist animation of this exceptional place.

An incomparable tourist attraction

The Rocamadour flea market benefits from a considerable asset: the exceptional tourist traffic of the site. With more than a million visitors per year, Rocamadour is the second most visited tourist site in France after Mont-Saint-Michel. The professional flea market vendors present take advantage of this incomparable visibility to offer their items to an international and curious public.
