The autumn braderie of Plouasne
The autumn braderie of Plouasne takes place on Sunday, October 18, 2026, the third Sunday of the month, on the place de la Mairie and in the streets of the village. The Comité des fêtes has run it for 30 editions, with its volunteers at the welcome desk, at stall placement, at the food stands and at the refreshment bar.
Doors open at 5 am.
The keenest bargain hunters turn up with torches to spot the rare pieces before daybreak, the day runs until 5 pm, and between 200 and 300 exhibitors set up outdoors and indoors alike, so the braderie goes ahead whatever the weather.
The village becomes a flea market. Clothes, furniture, crockery, trinkets, books, toys, tools, vinyl records and collectibles all change hands.
Exhibitors pay 2 € per linear metre outdoors, with free placement, and 3 € per metre indoors, by booking. Admission is free. Takings go back into the village's events throughout the year.
