Salon Antiquités Brocante du Pays d'Iroise

A professional antiques fair in the heart of the Pays d'Iroise

The Salon Antiquités Brocante du Pays d'Iroise is one of the most anticipated cultural and commercial events of the spring calendar in Ploudalmézeau (29830). Organized for many years — the 2023 edition was the 33rd, testifying to a firmly established tradition — this fair brings together about thirty professional dealers specializing in quality antique objects, antiques, and flea market finds every early May.

A gathering of professionals for lovers of antique objects

The unique aspect of the Salon Antiquités Brocante du Pays d'Iroise lies in its professional nature: the exhibitors are specialized dealers, guaranteeing a level of selection and authenticity that distinguishes this fair from ordinary car boot sales. You can find antique Breton and regional furniture, earthenware and porcelain, paintings and prints, collectible jewelry and watches, old books and documents, carpets and textiles, as well as curiosities and unusual objects.

The event takes place over two days, the weekend of early May, from 10 am to 7 pm, at the Halle Multifonctions, 26 rue Saint-Vincent Ferrier. Admission is set at €3.50 for adults, free for under 16s. This allows a wide audience — families, collectors, decorators, the simply curious — to browse the stalls in a pleasant setting.

Ploudalmézeau and the Pays d'Iroise

Ploudalmézeau is the capital of the Pays d'Iroise community of communes, a maritime territory in northern Finistère bordered to the west by the Atlantic and to the south by the roadstead of Brest. This area boasts natural riches such as the Iroise Marine Natural Park, the Molène and Ouessant archipelagos, the cliffs of Le Conquet, and the distinctive 'abers' (sea inlets) of the Léon coast.

The fair is part of this strong maritime and cultural identity. The antiques on display often reflect local maritime history: navigation instruments, sailors' items, seascapes, furniture from Breton cottages. It's a journey through time as well as a unique opportunity for collectors to make acquisitions.
