American-style Flea Market of Saint-Laurent-sur-Sèvre

The American-style flea market returns

After several years' break, Le Lien (local branch of Familles Rurales) relaunches its American-style flea market. 2026: Friday 1 May. The format differs from classic flea markets: sellers display in their own gardens/driveways along participating streets. Visitors wander from garage to garage, in a convivial, unusual shopping experience.

New team, new format

Le Lien has a new team. Event now exclusively for private sellers (no food). Family, non-commercial spirit aligned with Familles Rurales ethos. Price: €4/m (min 2 m), additions in 2 m blocks. Max depth 3 m. Umbrellas/canopies allowed within reserved space.

Practical details

Setup from 6:30am same day. Organisers assign spots on receipt of booking and payment, first-come first-served, no location choice. Info: liensaintlaurent.fr/VIDE-GRENIER-2026. First major spring event of Saint-Laurent.
