Saint-Christophe-du-Ligneron

About 4,400 inhabitants in NW Vendée, 10 km south of Challans, 12 km from the coast. Over the decades it became a brocante reference. La Virée des Puces (running: 5k, 10k, half-marathon) on 1 November each year adds another reputation.

Upscale bargain-hunting

Unlike most flea markets, Les Puces Ligneronnaises is a professional market - prices higher but quality exceptional. Ideal for serious collectors, antique lovers and interior designers. Allow a full day.
