Puces of the 33rd Foire des Couleurs of Paulhan

The Foire des Couleurs, a Paulhan institution since 1994

Since its creation in 1994, the Foire des Couleurs in Paulhan (34230) has become the village's flagship event. Organized by the ACAP (Association of Shopkeepers, Artisans, and Farmers of Paulhan), it transforms the streets and squares of the town into a huge festive market every first Sunday of May. The flea market and second-hand goods section attracts bargain hunters from the morning, while entertainment — carousels, musical parades, street shows — punctuate the day.

Paulhan celebrates, a village full of colors

For the occasion, facades are adorned with flags and garlands, café terraces overflow, and residents come down to the street to celebrate the arrival of spring together. More than 100 exhibitors — shopkeepers, artisans, local producers, and second-hand dealers — line the Rue Croix de la Mission and adjacent streets. The atmosphere is joyful, family-friendly, and typically Languedocian.

The flea market: good deals guaranteed

The flea market section of the Fair offers a wide selection of antique objects, trinkets, books, and curiosities. The pitch is €10 for 4 meters for second-hand dealers, who show up on the same morning to be placed. Admission is free for visitors and parking is free.
