Montpezat-de-Quercy Flea Market and Brocante

Bargain hunting in the heart of Quercy blanc

Every March, the Pétanque Montpezataise turns Salle Georges Brassens and the Place du Marché in Montpezat-de-Quercy into a vast hunting ground. As one of the season's first major brocante events, it kicks off the calendar after the long winter months. It brings together 65 to 70 sellers, private individuals and amateur dealers, from across northern Tarn-et-Garonne and neighbouring departments.

A structured format

The flea market opens at 7:30 AM for visitors, with sellers setting up from 6:30 AM. Indoor stands at around €16 for 5 metres, with two tables and two chairs provided, are sought after and need to be booked in advance. Salle Georges Brassens hosts most of the stands, supplemented by outdoor pitches on the Place du Marché. One special rule: no clothing or shoes are allowed for sale, focusing the event on brocante and bric-à-brac rather than vide-dressing.

What you can find

Without textiles, the offer focuses on classic brocante items: crockery, earthenware, old books, vinyl records, wooden toys, knick-knacks, decorations, board games, small furniture, old tools, postcards. Knowledgeable bargain hunters often find interesting pieces of rustic Quercy furniture or regional crockery.

A tasty morning

The Pétanque Montpezataise runs full catering: coffee and pastries at opening, hot dishes or meal trays at lunch, refreshments all day. It's also a moment of friendliness for Montpezat residents.

Practical tips

Book your stand early — the hall fills up fast. Bring cash, and come early for the best finds.
