Bastille Day flea market by the Lay river
Moutiers-sur-le-Lay's flea market, named "Entre les Ponts", takes its name from its spot between the two bridges crossing the Lay at the heart of the village. The 2026 edition is expected on Tuesday 14 July — traditional date coinciding with Bastille Day.
Vendors, mostly private, set up along the village streets and along the Lay banks. Riverside setting, relative coolness of the water, strolling between bridges — all combine to make this a pleasant, different flea market. Varied offer: clothes, toys, bibelots, books, tableware.
A small commune of around 700 crossed by the Lay, which gives the village its name. The river, formerly navigable, shaped local life. The village keeps its authentic feel with church, old houses and two characteristic bridges. In the Vendée plain near Mareuil-sur-Lay and La Roche-sur-Yon.
Running a flea market on Bastille Day evening in a riverside setting is Moutiers' signature. Visitors enjoy a relaxed summer atmosphere, sometimes topped off by fireworks in the evening. Popular with locals and nearby visitors.
