On 12-13 September 2026, flea markets and antique fairs across Occitanie multiply: 350 traders at the Réquista antique and swap meet, the Grand Bazar Lunellois, and seven more markets between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean.
They come from all across the Ségala.
Réquista reopens its Avenue de Millau for thirty-eight years of antique fair, from Friday 11 to Saturday 12 September 2026. On 12-13 September 2026, flea markets and antique fairs across Occitanie multiply: 350 traders at the Réquista antique and swap meet, the Grand Bazar Lunellois, and seven more markets between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean.
Thirty-eight editions for the Réquista antique and swap fair
The Réquista antique and swap fair spreads across the streets and squares of this bastide town in the Aveyron Ségala, from Friday 11 to Saturday 12 September 2026. Held every September since 1988, the event is run by the Auto Rétro Aveyronnais association.
350 traders, once again this year.
They set up along Avenue de Millau and through the town centre for a wide-ranging flea market paired with a swap meet, a format borrowed from the organising association's own name. The 2026 edition marks the thirty-eighth in a row that the bastide has held without interruption since 1988. Professionals and private sellers share the route in equal numbers.
That longevity, rare for an event of this size in the Aveyron, keeps traders coming back year after year and fills two full days of shopping streets, a format few other sales in this selection can claim over a single weekend. Three hundred and fifty pitches cover the whole of the avenue and the adjoining town-centre squares.
The rest of the weekend, from the Ariège to the Tarn
In the Ariège, the Mazères grape harvest fair combines a flea market, a display of vintage tractors and a threshing demonstration in the medieval bastide, on Sunday 13 September. A poultry show and a sale of local produce round out the programme, alongside a shared meal. The same day, in Mirepoix, the Cartophile Club opens its yearly postcard and philately fair on Place Maréchal Leclerc, in one of the finest bastide towns in France.
In the Aude, the Villemoustaussou car boot sale gathers its sellers in this busy town of the Carcassonne area, on Sunday. Further south-west, the Poumarous car boot sale fills the Place du Château, fifteen kilometres from Tarbes, in a Pyrenean village of 164 residents whose name comes from the French word for apple tree, the same Sunday.
The Grand Bazar Lunellois brings together hundreds of private and professional traders in the town centre of this Camargue town, on Sunday 13, where clothes, furniture, toys and vinyl records change hands in a festive mood. The day before, in Montpellier, the Puces du Lez hold their monthly market on the riverbank, in the Port Marianne district, with around a hundred traders selling vintage furniture and design pieces.
In the Gers, the Fourcès antique market gathers about thirty professional dealers under the centuries-old arcades and plane trees of this officially ranked most beautiful village, on Sunday, a fixture running for more than twenty-five years. In Albi, the same day, the military antiques fair spreads close to 75 exhibitors over more than 350 linear metres, among regulation weapons, uniforms and cutlery pieces.
In Fourcès, the professional antique market falls on 13/09/2026, as it does every second Sunday of the month through November. Antiques, period furniture and collectables change hands there.
In Balaruc-le-Vieux, in the Hérault, the GEEC car boot sale takes over Esplanade Marcel Pradel on 13 September 2026. It opens from 8am to 1.30pm, and GEEC stands for Groupe Écoute Cancer, whose proceeds support cancer patients. Registration is recommended, and entry stays free for visitors.
