About Fontenay True Flea Market
The Vrai vide-grenier of Fontenay-le-Comte, set for Sunday 17 May 2026, takes place at the Plaine des Sports André Forens. About 100 private sellers are expected for this spring rendezvous in southern Vendée's art-and-history town. Family atmosphere, food on site, free entry.
The Fontenay-le-Comte True Flea Market
Fontenay-le-Comte is the sub-prefecture of southern Vendée and a recognised Ville d'Art et d'Histoire, famed for its Renaissance heritage, Notre-Dame church, and remarkable historic centre. The town hosts several bargain-hunting events year-round, including the Vrai vide-grenier held each spring.
The 2026 edition is Sunday 17 May at Plaine des Sports André Forens. Unlike regular monthly brocantes, this is a 100% private-seller format: locals clearing garages and attics, guaranteeing attractive prices and authentic finds.
