Easter Monday Flea Market of Saint-Jean-Soleymieux

The Saint-Jean-Soleymieux Flea Market

Every year, on Whit Monday, Saint-Jean-Soleymieux hosts its traditional flea market. Private exhibitors take over the village streets, particularly Rue Saint-Martin, Place Lafayette, and Rue de l'Aumône, to offer their second-hand items to bargain hunters.

A Forez Tradition

This flea market is part of the long tradition of markets in Saint-Jean-Soleymieux, a market town in Forez that has hosted markets and fairs for centuries. Visitors can find furniture, crockery, old tools, trinkets, and everyday objects from yesteryear.

Saint-Jean-Soleymieux, in the heart of Forez

Located about twenty kilometers south of Montbrison, Saint-Jean-Soleymieux is a small Forez village perched on the heights. Its rural heritage, stone houses, and church offer a picturesque setting for this spring event. The village overlooks the surrounding valleys and offers beautiful panoramas of the Monts du Forez.
