Soullans Flea Market (July)

Soullans summer flea market

In the heart of the Vendée summer, Soullans runs its Sunday flea market, a traditional July gathering in the Breton marsh. 2026 edition: Sunday 19 July.

Set up centrally in the village, the market attracts private sellers from neighbouring communes and holidaying families clearing a few boxes — resulting in a huge variety of goods in a friendly summer atmosphere.

Why browse Soullans in July?

• A pleasant alternative to crowded beaches on a Sunday morning
• Mixed locals and tourists, hence varied objects
• Often softer prices than on the coast
• Charles Milcendeau studio nearby
• Authentic Breton marsh charm

Kids' bikes, boogie boards, beach toys, but also vintage crockery, books, vinyl, retro clothes, small furniture, tools. Collectors hunt local items: old Pays de Monts tourist posters, Vendée postcards.

A village to visit
