Autumn Vide-Grenier of Malakoff — Boulevard de Stalingrad

The Autumn Vide-Grenier of Malakoff

Every early October, Boulevard de Stalingrad in Malakoff (92240) becomes an enormous second-hand market: the City of Malakoff organises its traditional Autumn Vide-Grenier, one of the largest in the Hauts-de-Seine department. With nearly 500 sellers — exclusively private individuals, both Malakoff residents and non-residents — from 8.30am to 6.30pm, the event draws thousands of bargain-hunters from across the Paris region.

Malakoff: a working-class town at the gates of Paris

Malakoff is a close-suburb commune in Hauts-de-Seine (92), directly adjoining Paris's 14th arrondissement and neighbouring Montrouge, Châtillon and Vanves. Home to around 32,000 inhabitants, Malakoff has a popular, working-class identity and is known for the quality of its neighbourhood life and active associations. Boulevard de Stalingrad, one of the town's main thoroughfares, runs from north to south and provides an ideal setting for a large-scale flea market.

~500 private sellers — an exceptional size

With approximately 500 pitches, Malakoff's Autumn Vide-Grenier ranks among the largest in the inner Paris suburbs. Reserved exclusively for private individuals, it guarantees an authentic offer and often unexpected finds: furniture and decorative objects, crockery and trinkets, clothing for adults and children, books, vinyl records and comics, old toys and games, household appliances and various tools. The layout along the boulevard allows comfortable browsing even with a large visitor turnout.
