Wednesday brocante in July on the Côte de Jade
During summer 2026, Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez runs a weekly brocante every Wednesday in July: 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 July. An original format, complementing the big 15 and 23 August events, giving holidaymakers and locals a regular mid-week market.
Private and semi-pro vendors offer a varied seasonal mix: summer clothing, beach items, tableware, bibelots, books, toys, decor. Weekly turnover ensures fresh stalls — some regulars, some occasional.
One of Vendée's biggest resorts; summer sees a tenfold jump. Sion-sur-l'Océan and Cinq Pineaux beaches, forest and coast draw thousands. The commune layers activities on top — markets, concerts, sport — and these weekly brocantes complete the offer.
Weekly recurrence is ideal for summer: holidaymakers can return each Wednesday, nearby campers build a routine, year-rounders get regular animation. A winning formula that creates habit and loyalty.
