Boule Bandolaise Flea Market
Bandol's bargain hunters' meet-up by the harbour
About Boule Bandolaise Flea Market
Organised by the local petanque association La Boule Bandolaise, this spring flea market takes over the bowling green of Bandol, opposite the pier for Bendor Island. A friendly morning of private sellers offering bric-a-brac, clothing, toys and curiosities in one of the finest settings on the Var coast.
A flea market at the heart of Bandol harbour
As spring warms the French Riviera, the seaside town of Bandol opens the flea market season with the long-running Boule Bandolaise sale. The setting is simply enchanting: the event stretches along allée Alfred Vivien next to the boulodrome all the way to the Bendor ferry pier. Between masts, ochre facades and the deep blue Mediterranean, shoppers wander in a relaxed Provençal atmosphere.
What you'll find
Exhibitors are strictly private individuals from Bandol and nearby villages using the day to clear out attics, cellars and cupboards. Expect bric-a-brac, crockery, paperbacks, toys, second-hand clothing, records, small furniture and the occasional pleasant surprise: seaside souvenirs, travel memorabilia, Art Deco trinkets rescued from cap villas.
A well-oiled community event
La Boule Bandolaise, the town's iconic petanque club, runs the event with care. Profits fund the club's sporting activities and the upkeep of the bowling green. Vendors set up from 6am and pack down by 6pm at the latest.
Harbour-side springtime atmosphere
The association's chalet serves coffee, hot chocolate, soft drinks and chocolate bars between two bargains. Seasoned shoppers then linger on a café terrace to enjoy a slice of pissaladière or an ice cream facing the colourful fishing boats.
