About Plaisir de Chiner

Run by the town of Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume, the Plaisir de Chiner flea market takes over the sidewalks of avenues Jean Jaurès and Maréchal de Saxe once a year. A full day dedicated to curios, art, second-hand clothes and toys, open to private sellers and professional dealers.

Var's biggest downtown hunt

Every year, Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume hosts Plaisir de Chiner, a large-scale flea market held along avenues Jean Jaurès and Maréchal de Saxe. Run by the town, it turns the downtown sidewalks into a long, lively shopping promenade. The 2025 edition ran on Saturday 14 June from 7am to 7pm.

Rather than a simple vide-grenier, the town blends private sellers and professional brocanteurs — you'll find both attic finds and proper antiques.

What to find

  • Curios and art objects
  • Second-hand and vintage clothing
  • Antique and modern toys
  • Books, records, comics
  • Furniture and decor
  • Bric-à-brac and curiosities

A hunt through the historic centre

Jean Jaurès and Maréchal de Saxe are two parallel streets in the historic core. Stalls spread over a long stretch, mingling with cafés, bakeries and local shops. Saint-Maximin is dominated by its superb Gothic Basilica of Saint Mary Magdalene — perfect for a heritage break between stalls.

Tips

Comfortable shoes, a sturdy bag, cash and water are essential — June days get hot. Come early for the best pieces, return late afternoon for bargains. Use peripheral car parks as the centre is restricted.

Plaisir de Chiner returns to Saint-Maximin-la-Sainte-Baume in June 2026 (exact date to be confirmed by the town hall). Private sellers and dealers on Jean Jaurès and Maréchal de Saxe. Curios, art, clothes and toys.
