The Vide-Greniers Brocante de Rivedoux-Plage: Treasure Hunting Facing the Ocean

Every summer, the Amicale Laïque of Rivedoux-Plage organizes its car boot sale flea market on the Esplanade de la Mer, a vast open space facing the Atlantic, avenue Gustave Perreau. With around twenty editions to its name, this event has established itself as a must-attend summer gathering on the Île de Ré. Approximately 75 exhibitors, both individuals and professionals, set up their stalls facing the sea for a day of outdoor treasure hunting.

The Esplanade de la Mer, an Exceptional Setting

The Esplanade de la Mer in Rivedoux-Plage offers a remarkable panorama of the Pertuis Breton and the Charente coast. This vast space, usually dedicated to walkers and sea bathers, transforms for a day into an open-air flea market. Treasure hunters enjoy the sea breeze and the ocean view while browsing stalls filled with all sorts of items.

Rivedoux-Plage, Gateway to the Île de Ré

The first town encountered when crossing the bridge to the Île de Ré, Rivedoux-Plage charms with its two beaches, its oyster port, and its market. This authentic village, halfway between the mainland and the heart of the island, benefits from a strategic location that attracts crowds during summer events. The Amicale Laïque, a dynamic local association, actively contributes to the animation of Rivedoux throughout the year.
