Sainte-Gemme-la-Plaine Flea Market

Sainte-Gemme-la-Plaine flea markets

Sainte-Gemme-la-Plaine, 1,800-inhabitant Plaine vendéenne commune, some km north of Luçon. Typical south-Vendée rural commune: Romanesque church, livestock farms, grain fields. Two 2026 flea markets: 7 March (early) and 24 May (classic spring).

Double programming gives exhibitors and hunters two distinct chances. March edition, uncommon (most start in April), appeals to locals who enjoy being early post-winter. May edition, classic, benefits from fair weather and wider attendance.
