Spring Flea Market of Bargème

A flea market at the top of Var

Perched at 1094 meters, Bargème is the highest village in the Var department. Dominated by the ruins of its feudal castle built in the 13th century by the powerful Pontevès family, this gem of the Haut-Var belongs to the prestigious Most Beautiful Villages of France ranking. Within this exceptional medieval setting, partially surrounded by the remnants of its ramparts, a flea market of rare authenticity takes place every spring.

Hunting in exceptional surroundings

The entirely pedestrian village is perfect for strolling. Stalls are set up on the central square and along the cobbled streets lined with stone houses and old tiled roofs. At every turn, vaulted passages and small shady squares offer a picturesque backdrop. Expect bric-à-brac, dishware, clothing, toys, books, trinkets and everyday objects from local attics.

Breathtaking panorama

The flea market doubles as a tourist outing. On clear days, the view reaches dozens of kilometers, from the Haut-Var plains to the first foothills of the Alps.
