Brocante de la Minoterie de Mortagne-sur-Gironde

The Brocante de la Minoterie: a monthly event facing the estuary

Each month, the Quai de l'Estuaire and Place Parias in Mortagne-sur-Gironde host the Brocante de la Minoterie, a flea market exclusively dedicated to antique objects and collectibles. Organized by the Atelier Brocante de la Minoterie, located at 28 bis quai de l'Estuaire, this event has established itself as a regular meeting place for bargain hunters and collectors in the Gironde estuary region.

Flea market and antiques only

The Brocante de la Minoterie stands out for its focus on antique objects and quality flea market finds. The sale of food products is prohibited, ensuring visitors are offered furniture, antique tableware, trinkets, collectibles, period tools, and curiosities from yesteryear. This requirement attracts a discerning audience of collectors, decorators, and lovers of fine pieces.

The Quai de l'Estuaire, an exceptional setting

The port of Mortagne-sur-Gironde offers a spectacular setting for this monthly flea market. Stalls are set up along the Quai de l'Estuaire and on Place Parias, facing the waters of the Gironde and the fishing huts that dot the shoreline. The limestone cliffs overlooking the port, dotted with troglodyte caves, add to the unique character of this location. In the morning, the estuary light bathes the objects in a special atmosphere, conducive to contemplation and discovery.

The Atelier Brocante de la Minoterie

The Atelier Brocante de la Minoterie is a permanent flea market and antique shop located in the former milling facility at the port of Mortagne. This converted industrial building houses a showroom of antique objects and serves as the headquarters for organizing the monthly flea market.
