Brocante Vide Grenier de Saint-Alban-Auriolles

2025 Season of the Brocante Vide Grenier de Saint-Alban-Auriolles

Throughout 2025, the Brocante Vide Grenier de Saint-Alban-Auriolles has maintained a loyal following of bargain hunters and enthusiasts by taking place on the 3rd Thursday of each month on the Place Aristide Briand, a stone's throw from the village town hall. Organized by Jean Pierre, this monthly event has been an anticipated fixture in the local calendar of southern Ardèche.

From January to December 2025, twelve editions followed one another, each bringing its share of discoveries and encounters. The summer season — June, July, August — was particularly lively thanks to the influx of tourists coming to enjoy the natural riches of the area: the Chassezac river, the nearby Gorges de l'Ardèche, the surrounding medieval villages. These passing visitors swelled the ranks of the regulars, giving the summer flea market a special buzz.

The diversity of goods offered was at the heart of the success of this 2025 season: antique furniture and decorative objects, tableware and porcelain, books and magazines, vintage clothing and accessories, old toys and games, old tools and agricultural equipment, trinkets and souvenirs. Each edition managed to renew interest thanks to the natural turnover of exhibitors, professionals and individuals succeeding one another from month to month. Free entry for visitors helped maintain broad and popular attendance throughout the year.
