Sallertaine Summer Brocante

The Sallertaine summer brocante

In full summer season, Sallertaine runs its summer brocante on Sunday 2 August 2026. Unlike flea markets, brocantes welcome more professionals — higher level and diversity. The Marais Breton island-village setting, with its old alleys, boatman heritage and craft artisans, fits this event perfectly.

What you'll find

• Old and rustic furniture (Marais, Vendée)
• Faïence, porcelain, glassware
• Rural objects and peasant tools
• Decorative items, lamps
• Vinyl, old books, postcards
• Household textiles (embroidered linens)
• Antique jewellery, watches, clocks
• Nautical charts, maritime objects

Summer and connoisseur crowd

August date draws a mixed crowd: regional collectors, Vendée hunters, tourists holidaying along the coast. Professionals bring top pieces for peak season.

A unique village

Former Marais Breton island, Sallertaine kept its perched-bourg character. Reinvented as art/craft hub with many workshops in old buildings (ceramicists, glassblowers, jewellers, painters).

Tips

Come early. Cash, bag or wheelbarrow for heavy items. Combine with craft workshop visits and a boat trip in the Marais canals.
