Spring Brocante – Vide-Grenier in Lyon Vaise

Spring Brocante in Vaise, Lyon's Transforming Neighbourhood

On Sunday 10 May 2026, the Vaise neighbourhood in Lyon's 9th arrondissement (69009) hosts its spring brocante and car boot sale. Vintage clothes, forgotten vinyl records, retro furniture, trinkets and everyday objects spread across the pavements and squares of this neighbourhood in full metamorphosis. The event reflects Vaise's new identity: a district that blends preserved industrial heritage with creative energy, attracting both long-time residents and newcomers drawn by its riverside setting and reclaimed spaces.

Vaise, Former Industrial District Turned One of Lyon's Trendiest Neighbourhoods

Vaise sits on the right bank of the Saône in Lyon's 9th arrondissement, at the foot of the Fourvière and Saint-Just hills. Long defined by its factories, warehouses and railway lines, the neighbourhood has undergone a profound transformation since the 1990s with the opening of metro line D (Vaise station), the redevelopment of former industrial sites, and the arrival of shops, trendy restaurants and modern housing. Today, Vaise is a vibrant, mixed and creative neighbourhood whose spring brocante perfectly captures the spirit of reuse and discovery that animates its residents.
