Saint-Ismier Historical and All Collections Market

A fair for military history enthusiasts

The Saint-Ismier Historical and All Collections Market is a unique annual event in the Grenoble area for collectors of military and historical objects. This specialized fair offers a wide range of items covering major periods of French and European military history, from the Napoleonic era to World War II. The event is organized by Tandem Events France, the same team that manages Broc' Land Geek in the same venue.

Rare and authentic collector's items

The thirty exhibitors present offer varied and often rare items that will fascinate history buffs: regulation and collector's antique weapons, period uniforms (complete or parts), military helmets and headwear from all armies, regimental insignia and decorations, history books and archival documents, bayonets from different periods, finely painted lead figurines, military and civilian medals, staff maps, and commemorative items. You will also find objects related to law enforcement (police, gendarmerie) and firefighters. Each stand is an invitation to dive into history and interact with passionate specialists.

An intimate format that encourages exchanges

With about thirty exhibitors gathered in the Espace Agora in Saint-Ismier, the fair maintains an intimate format that encourages exchanges between collectors and specialized dealers. The €25 VIP pass offers early access before the public opening at 8 am, allowing the most discerning collectors to secure the most sought-after items before the crowds. Standard entry at €4 (free for under 12s) gives access to the entire fair from 8 am. The on-site refreshment and catering facilities allow visitors to spend the morning comfortably immersed in history.

Tips for visitors

Arrive early to take advantage of the best selection, especially if you are looking for specific items. Do not hesitate to ask exhibitors questions, as they are usually passionate individuals ready to share their knowledge. If you are a beginner collector, this is the ideal opportunity to get started and benefit from expert advice to build your collection.
