Rives-de-l'Yon Flea Market and Producers' Market

Double event: flea market and producers' market

Rives-de-l'Yon innovates with an original Saturday 2 May 2026 format: a flea market paired with a local producers-artisans market. This double event lets visitors spend a single day bargain-hunting and discovering Vendée produce. The combination, increasingly common, creates a more appealing event.

Flea market side: private sellers with usual variety. Producers side: Vendée specialities - goat cheese, honey, jam, bread, Fiefs Vendéens wine, eggs, seasonal veg, farm charcuterie, crafts.
