Vaugines Fair and Brocante

Vaugines, a cinema village

With some 550 inhabitants, Vaugines is one of the Luberon's smallest villages. It gained lasting fame as Claude Berri's 1990 filming location for "Jean de Florette" and "Manon des Sources", adaptations of Marcel Pagnol's novels. The fountain and church square became world-famous.

A charming village brocante

Typical of small Provençal villages where everyone knows each other. Mostly private sellers from Vaugines and nearby, plus a few professional brocanteurs. Stalls fill the central square around the fountain and the adjacent alleys.

The cinema fountain

Impossible to visit Vaugines without admiring the famous fountain from "Manon des Sources", with its round plane-shaded basin — the natural heart of the brocante.

What to find

Both private-seller market and professional brocante: bric-a-brac, Provençal tableware, antique linen, clothing, books, antique toys, small hunted furniture, regional pottery, old agricultural tools, rural life objects, glassware, costume and sometimes antique jewellery.
