Flea markets and antique fairs in Nouvelle-Aquitaine on October 10 and 11: Angoulême's collectors' brocante on Saturday, then Limoges, Le Bugue and the start of Montmorillon's collectors' fair on Sunday.
From 7am, at the foot of Saint-Étienne cathedral. In Limoges, the Puces de la Cité hold their Sunday market in the bishop's garden on October 11.
The Puces de la Cité, bishop's garden
The Puces de la Cité take over the bishop's garden in Limoges on the second Sunday of every month, except August. The 2026 calendar lists October 11. The market has run for more than 40 years, at the foot of Saint-Étienne cathedral in the Cité district, the oldest part of the city.
Roadworks on the boulevards de la Corderie and de la Cité have moved it to this garden until 2027.
Between 100 and 200 exhibitors, mostly professional and semi-professional dealers, set up under tents and tarpaulins, outdoors whatever the weather.
Stalls carry Limoges porcelain, earthenware, regional postcards, engravings and posters. Small furniture, mirrors and frames sit beside retro fashion from the 1950s to the 1980s, 45 and 33 rpm records, metal toys and dolls.
Free entry for visitors, from 7am to 6pm. Dealers arrive from 6am, and the crowd peaks between 8am and 11am.
From Saturday in Angoulême to Sunday's collectors' fairs
This weekend starts on Saturday 10/10/2026 with the Brocante et Collections d'Angoulême, which fills the Place Saint-Martial and the Champ de Mars from 8am to 6pm: about fifty exhibitors, with books, old linen, records, coins and earthenware. Entry is free, and exhibitors get a coffee on the house. The same Saturday, in Soorts-Hossegor, the town-centre brocante gathers professionals only in front of the town hall, from 8am to 5pm, around furniture, jewellery, vinyl and posters.
On Sunday 11, on the Esplanade Éric Tabarly, facing the La Rochelle aquarium, the Belle Brocante du Gabut keeps its aisles for professionals from 8:30am to 5:30pm: retro furniture, posters, old books, folk art. Free entry, with dealers setting up from 7am.
In Le Bugue, the same Sunday, the iron-and-scrap fair and professional brocante takes over the Place de la Farge, run by the Comité de la Farge. A roast-ham lunch, 16 euros, is booked in advance. In Rouffignac-Saint-Cernin-de-Reilhac, the Pumpkin Festival car boot sale fills the village centre on Sunday from 8am to 5pm, with pumpkin soup, chipolatas, roast chestnuts and a raffle in aid of Octobre Rose.
For collectors, on October 11, Arveyres pairs a car boot sale with a collectors' fair in the village hall: stamps, coins, postcards, bottle caps, pin badges. In Montmorillon, City of Writing and the book trades, the Grande Bourse starts on Sunday 11 October.
