The big gathering of private sellers in Fontenay-le-Comte
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.
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.
Plaine des Sports André Forens offers an ideal outdoor space, parking nearby, easy access from the centre. About 100 exhibitors set up, ensuring variety without crowding.
Before or after, visit the historic centre: Place Belliard with its fountains, Notre-Dame with its Renaissance bell-tower, Château de Terre-Neuve. Fontenay is also the south-east gateway to the Marais Poitevin.
Arrive early for the best finds; cash and big bags; enjoy the shaded area on warm days.
