The Puces de la Ville Vieille in Nancy

On Sunday 8 November the Puces de la Ville Vieille are back in old Nancy. The flea market has run since 1973, on the second Sunday of each month from February to November, along the Grande Rue, the historic street linking the Porte de la Craffe to the Saint-Epvre basilica, and across Place Charles III, near the church of Saint-Sébastien.

Forty to fifty professional dealers hold the stalls. Antiques, brocante, glassware, porcelain, period furniture, rare books, engravings and numismatics make up the offer, and collectors, antique lovers and strollers mix between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., with free admission.

Trams and buses serve the district, with car parks nearby.

The rest of the weekend

In the Doubs, the monthly brocante in Maîche takes over Place de la Rasse with about 100 exhibitors, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and admits only brocante and antiques. Maîche sits about 777 metres up, close to the Swiss border. Swiss and Alsatian visitors join the local crowd. In Normandy, the professional brocante in Houlgate sets up in the Jardin des Roses car park between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., with selected dealers and antiquarians, period furniture, decorative objects and old books.

Facing the Aquarium in La Rochelle, the Belle Brocante du Gabut spreads retro furniture, odd objects, old books and posters over the Esplanade Éric Tabarly from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Where the Loire meets the Vienne, in Montsoreau, the Puces de Montsoreau are 34 years old and bring 60 to 80 professional exhibitors.

Cannes and Paris browse from Saturday, this weekend. In Cannes, the brocante on the Allées de la Liberté sets out porcelain, crystal, old books and trinkets under the plane trees, facing the Old Port, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. In Paris, the professional brocante on Avenue du Maine occupies the Gaîté-Montparnasse district from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., with 19th- and 20th-century furniture, Art Deco, lamps and ceramics.

Browsing under cover

Under the Baltard hall of 1898 on Place Billard, a few minutes' walk from Chartres cathedral, the Rendez-vous des Chineurs lines up 55 professional dealers, free entry from 7:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with small vintage furniture, records, comics, tools and toys.

Two days, 7-8/11, at the Espace Faïencerie in Boulogne-sur-Mer. The name recalls the city's faience tradition, and the 22nd Collectors' Fair gathers postcards, coins, stamps, figurines, militaria and vinyl in a heated, covered hall.

On Sunday in Brittany, the Grand Car Boot Sale in Guingamp fills the Dulac halls of the Kergoz exhibition centre and the grounds around them, with 100 to 200 private sellers from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., plus a refreshment bar and food on site. The Vélo Club Pays de Guingamp 22 runs it to fund its sporting activities. Indoors and out, it goes ahead in any weather.

Admission is free in Nancy, Cannes, Paris, Houlgate, Maîche and Guingamp.
