Puces de la Ville Vieille de Nancy

The Puces de la Ville Vieille: more than 50 years of treasure hunting in Nancy

Founded in 1973, the Puces de la Ville Vieille de Nancy are among the oldest and most renowned flea markets in Lorraine. Every second Sunday of the month, from February to November, the historic heart of the city of the Dukes of Lorraine transforms into a vast open-air treasure hunting space, attracting collectors, antique lovers, and curious strollers.

Grande Rue and Place Charles III: a heritage setting

The market unfolds on two emblematic sites of old Nancy: the Grande Rue, a historic artery connecting the Porte de la Craffe to the Saint-Epvre Basilica, and the Place Charles III, near the Saint-Sébastien Church. Along this promenade, treasure hunters admire the magnificent facade of the Palais des ducs de Lorraine (now the Musée Lorrain) while browsing the stalls. This Renaissance and medieval architectural setting gives the Puces a unique atmosphere.

About forty passionate professionals

The Puces de la Ville Vieille bring together around 40 to 50 professional exhibitors, specializing in antiques, flea market finds, glassware, porcelain, antique furniture, rare books, prints, numismatics, and collectibles. The quality and diversity of the stalls contribute to the market's reputation, where discerning amateurs mingle with passing visitors in a friendly and passionate atmosphere.

A monthly event rooted in Nancy's life

Having become a true institution, the Puces de la Ville Vieille have been setting the rhythm for the cultural and commercial life of old Nancy for over half a century. Dates are scheduled from February to November, with events also in July, September, and October. The market opens at 7 am for early birds and continues until 6 pm, allowing everyone to fully enjoy this day of treasure hunting in the heart of Lorraine.
