Les Puces du Canal – Villeurbanne Flea Market

Les Puces du Canal, Villeurbanne's great permanent market

Les Puces du Canal is one of the most frequented permanent flea markets in the greater Lyon area. Open year-round on Thursdays and Saturdays from 7am to 1pm and Sundays from 7am to 3pm, this outdoor market brings together a wide range of sellers each week: professional antique dealers, vintage clothing vendors, tool sellers, booksellers and private individuals clearing out their attics. You'll find an abundance of old and second-hand items: furniture, crockery, vintage clothes, tools, vinyl records, books, knick-knacks and all kinds of curiosities. Its genuine popular atmosphere makes it a favourite hunting ground for collectors and bargain hunters alike.

Villeurbanne, a dynamic city on Lyon's doorstep

The canal district, undergoing major transformation for several years, blends business zones, green spaces and authentic neighbourhood life.
