Taïx Village Flea Market
The back-to-school flea market in a Carmaux-basin village
About Taïx Flea Market
In September at back-to-school time, the small village of Taïx holds its annual flea market awaited by bargain-hunters of northern Tarn. About 60 sellers set up in this rural Carmausin commune, between mining basin and Ségala country, for a morning of authentic village bargain-hunting. A chance to discover a little-known corner of Tarn and to snag good deals before autumn, in the family atmosphere typical of rural Occitanie.
A flea market at the dawn of Tarn autumn
The Taïx flea market traditionally closes the summer season of major Carmausin flea markets. Held on a Sunday in September, it offers those who didn't find their treasure in summer one last chance to do deals before the season ends. Organised by local volunteers, it draws around 60 sellers, mostly locals.
What you can hunt for
Classic rural flea market bric-a-brac: adult and children's clothing, toys, books, baby gear, school items (welcome in September), crockery, small furniture, tools, trinkets. Among more typical Carmausin finds: farming and mining tools, old farm utensils, old newspapers and photographs, local advertising objects. Gentle prices, relaxed atmosphere, polite negotiation.
Taïx, a small perched village
Taïx is a small commune of about 400 residents in the Albi arrondissement and Carmaux-Sud canton, at an average altitude of 300 m. Typical rural northern Tarn village, it nestles between slopes and woods, a few kilometres from Carmaux and the historic mining basin.
A Sunday outing in northern Tarn
The Taïx flea market unfolds in the pleasant village setting, usually around the community hall or centre depending on the year. A human-scale event where you take your time, chat with sellers, enjoy the late-summer sun on Tarn stones. To extend perhaps with a visit to nearby Carmaux, Cagnac-les-Mines (Mining Museum) or further to Monestiés and Cordes-sur-Ciel.
