The Ascension Day rendezvous in the medieval hilltop village
The hilltop village of Le Crestet hosts its flea market on Thursday 14 May 2026, Ascension Day, on the town hall square. From 8 am, bargain hunters discover one of the finest hilltop villages of Haut-Vaucluse, perched above Vaison-la-Romaine. An open-air morning in an exceptional medieval setting with panoramic views of Mont Ventoux.
Perched at 400 metres on a rocky spur overlooking the Ouvèze, Le Crestet is one of the finest medieval villages of Haut-Vaucluse. On Thursday 14 May 2026, Ascension Day, the town hall square becomes an open-air market from 8 am. A must-see event taking advantage of the bank holiday to welcome bargain hunters from Vaucluse and the neighbouring Drôme.
The 9th-century castle, once owned by the bishops of Vaison, still watches over the fortified village. Saint-Sauveur church, the wash-house, fountain and panoramic terrace create a picturesque backdrop. Views extend to Mont Ventoux, the Dentelles de Montmirail and the Vaison plain.
A quintessential village flea market with classic Provençal bric-a-brac: old tableware, tools, clothing, toys, books, decor, small furniture, linen and trinkets.
