Laguépie Flea Market - Rétro Véhicule du Rouergue

Brocante and beautiful machines at the confluence

In high summer, the Rétro Véhicule du Rouergue association hosts an original flea market in Laguépie, mixing traditional brocante with a display of vintage cars and classic utility vehicles. The event takes place on Avenue de la Gare, in the lower part of the village, near the confluence of the Viaur and Aveyron rivers that defines this commune on the Tarn-et-Garonne / Aveyron border.

An original format

The flea market starts very early — from 6 AM for sellers — and runs until late afternoon, around 6 PM. Vintage car fans come to admire the displayed models (old Citroëns, Peugeots, Renaults, motorbikes, sometimes farm machines), while bargain hunters browse the stands. The association applies simple rates: €15 for the first 5 metres, then €10 per additional 5-metre slot. Food and brand-new items are not allowed, preserving the authenticity of the market.

What you can find

The spirit stays that of a country flea market: crockery, books, toys, clothes, knick-knacks, small furniture. But the vintage vehicles give the event a true identity, drawing collectors of car parts and memorabilia (sheet metal, enamel signs, garage tools, vintage car accessories). Enthusiasts gather around the engines, share memories, haggle in the shade of the plane trees.

Laguépie, rural charm of Quercy-Rouergue

Laguépie sits at the north-east tip of Tarn-et-Garonne in an exceptional spot at the confluence of two rivers. Dominated by medieval castle ruins, the village offers a river beach — perfect to cool off on a summer day — and several hiking trails. The Sunday market and local producers add to its appeal.

Tips

Come early for parking and to grab the best pieces. Bring a hat, water and comfortable shoes. Many visitors combine the flea market with a swim or picnic at the confluence.
