Ruche du Broussan Flea Market

A flea market in the Évenos hills

Évenos has several faces: a medieval hilltop village overlooking the Ollioules gorges, and several hamlets scattered in the surrounding hills. Le Broussan, a discreet hamlet at the edge of the massif, is known for its calm, its almond trees and the warmth of its residents. There, the Ruche du Broussan association holds its spring and autumn flea market, beloved of genuine Provençal bargain hunters.

What you'll find

The Broussan market cultivates a village spirit: private sellers from surrounding hamlets, a few local dealers, many objects tied to traditional Provençal life. Rustic bric-a-brac, old tools, crockery, linen, books, toys, garden furniture, and sometimes fine pieces — santons, glazed pottery, old sugar bowls, local studio paintings.

Ruche du Broussan, the hamlet's soul

The association animates village life year-round. Its members — residents, retirees, families — run the event with the seriousness of small Provençal communities. Set-up from 8am, warm welcome, careful layout. Vehicle pitch €20, pedestrian pitch €15. Contact: +33 6 70 08 38 03 or [email protected].

A Provençal day's atmosphere

On-site refreshments and food let hunters pause and chat with locals. Pizzas, sandwiches, drinks and sometimes homemade specialities brought by volunteers. The setting — almond trees, garrigue, distant hills — is a major draw: few markets are held in such a natural gem.

Twice a year

La Ruche du Broussan usually holds two markets per year, one in spring (March) and one in late summer/autumn. A second March 2026 edition is also planned, making 15 March the hamlet's bargain-hunting season opener.
