Rougiers Flea Market on Pentecost Monday

A Provençal Pentecost tradition

Rougiers is a small perched village in the Var, between Saint-Maximin and Brignoles, overlooked by medieval castle ruins. Each year on Pentecost Monday it hosts a big flea market through its picturesque streets, drawing loyal hunters from Provence Verte and beyond. In 2026, Pentecost falls on 24 May, so the event is Monday 25 May 2026.

Run by the town hall, it blends village flea market and professional brocante. Sellers are welcomed 5.30-7am. The very affordable €3 per linear metre stand fee reflects a commitment to keep it popular and accessible.

A postcard setting

The village's narrow alleys, stone houses, church and small squares make a natural backdrop. Stalls spread through the streets, and morning smells of coffee and fresh bread enhance the hunt.

What to find

• Clothes, toys, books, crockery
• Antiques: old furniture, Provençal decor
• Collectibles, vinyl, postcards
• Occasional local crafts
• Rural bric-à-brac
