Vide-Grenier de Rognac

The spring 2025 edition of the Vide-Grenier de Rognac brought together antique hunters and strollers on Place Saint-Jacques, in the heart of this commune of over 12,500 inhabitants nestled on the edge of the Étang de Berre. This traditional event, organized by the City of Rognac, offered a friendly day of treasure hunting under the Provençal sky.

Stalls run by individuals offered a wide variety of second-hand items: tableware and ceramics, clothing and accessories for the whole family, old books and comics, toys, small furniture, trinkets, and decorative objects. Attractive prices and a warm atmosphere invited visitors to browse and bargain along the stalls.

Rognac, whose history dates back to antiquity with the Celto-Ligurian oppidum of Castellas, offers a remarkable setting for this type of event. Place Saint-Jacques, located on the edge of the Étang de Vaïné, the eastern part of the Étang de Berre, allows antique hunters to enjoy a panorama of the water and surrounding hills. After the hunt, many visitors extended their day with a walk along the pond or a hike to the remains of Castellas and the Croix de Rognac, perched at an altitude of 270 meters.
