Les Ocriers Flea Market in Gargas
A morning of hunting in the heart of the ochre country
About Ocriers Flea Market Gargas
Gargas, an emblematic village of the Luberon ochre massif, hosts each spring a flea market at the Les Ocriers area. Organised with official town hall authorisation (market-sale order), this morning event gathers residents and hunters in the exceptional setting of the former ochre quarries, in the country of red cliffs and age-old pigments.
A flea market in ochre country
Gargas is one of the most remarkable villages of the Pays d'Apt, famous for its unique ochre heritage. The ochre quarries, exploited since the 18th century, have shaped a flamboyant landscape of red, yellow and orange cliffs, visible at the Bruoux Mines and along the quarry trails. It is in this exceptional natural and industrial setting that the Les Ocriers flea market takes place each spring, with official authorisation.
The ochre heritage of Gargas
Gargas was long the primary ochre producer of the massif. The Bruoux Mines, a huge underground network of 40 km of galleries hand-dug by ochre workers, bear witness to this mining era. The toponym Les Ocriers directly recalls these craftsmen of colour.
What to find
Private-sellers' flea market: family bric-a-brac, clothing, toys, books, tableware, linen, small furniture, old tools, decorative items. Occasionally, one finds objects linked to ochre, pottery, basketry or olive oil.

2026 Edition Review
The 2026 edition of the Les Ocriers flea market took place on Sunday 5 April, in accordance with the municipal order issued by the Gargas town council. The official framework guarantees a secure and well-managed event in one of the most emblematic areas of the ochre village.
In the spring atmosphere of the Luberon, between the red cliffs and the trails of the former mines, private exhibitors displayed their goods: clothing, toys, books, knick-knacks, tableware, linen, small furniture. Hunters from the Pays d'Apt and tourists passing through enjoyed this morning of bargain hunting.
