Flea markets and antique fairs in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, 22-23 August 2026: 300 stalls take over central Trets

On 22-23 August 2026, the flea markets of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur run from Trets to L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue: 300 stallholders across four streets in Trets, and a late sale in Le Poët that closes at 11pm.

On 22-23 August 2026, the flea markets of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur run from Trets to L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue: 300 stallholders across four streets in Trets, and a late sale in Le Poët that closes at 11pm.

Nine in the morning, avenue Mirabeau.

Trets opens its car boot sale on Saturday 22 August and hands over four of its main streets. On 22-23 August 2026, the flea markets of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur run from Trets to L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, with 300 stallholders in the streets of Trets and a late sale in Le Poët that closes at 11pm.

Three hundred stalls across central Trets

The Trets car boot sale takes the town centre on Saturday 22 August, from 9am to 5pm. Around 300 private sellers set up along avenue Mirabeau, boulevard de la République, cours Esquiros and avenue Jean Jaurès.

Four streets, one day.

The town's events department runs the whole thing, and it stays closed to professional dealers. That sets it apart from most sales in the Bouches-du-Rhône: no supermarket car park, no field on the edge of town, just the streets of a Provençal town that buyers walk end to end.

The opening time is unusual for the region. Plenty of Provençal sales start at 5.30am or 6am and pack up in the early afternoon. Trets waits until 9am and stays open until 5pm, which costs early risers their usual edge and gives families a full day.

Sunday dealers, from the Sorgue to the Alpilles

Avenue des 4 Otages, Sunday, 9am to 6pm: the Sunday antiques market of L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue lines up its professional dealers along the water, below the paddle wheels, in a town rated Europe's third antiques centre behind London and Saint-Ouen.

The Puces de Provence at Saint-Étienne-du-Grès gather up to 400 sellers on the village market square in the heart of the Alpilles, from 6am to 1.30pm. In Marseille, the Prado stamp market brings a dozen dealers and collectors onto the open avenue from 9am to noon, for philately and nothing else.

The coast keeps to its routine.

In Cannes, the Allées de la Liberté antique fair spreads its professionals opposite the old port on Saturday and Sunday, with porcelain, crystal, period books and collectables. In the gulf of Saint-Tropez, the Mas de Bagatin flea market draws up to 250 sellers to Grimaud under nearly three hectares of pine wood, from 6am to 4pm.

In the upper Vaucluse, the Sérignan-du-Comtat park sale opens on Sunday 23 August from 6am to 3pm, under century-old plane trees, at 10 euros a pitch, in the village of the entomologist Jean-Henri Fabre.

Two Saint Bartholomew feasts and one sale after dark

The Var celebrates its patron saint twice over the same weekend. At Montauroux, the Saint-Barthélemy patronal festival runs from 20 to 23 August, with a French chanson cabaret on the place du Clos, mass and a procession at the Saint-Barthélemy chapel, and a huge aïoli. At La Roque-Esclapon, a village perched at 960 metres between the Verdon gorges and the Canjuers plateau, the Saint-Barthélemy lasts from 20 to 25 August: boules, concerts, village meals and aubades.

Le Poët waits for the end of the day.

Between Sisteron and Laragne-Montéglin, the semi-nocturnal car boot sale of Le Poët runs on 22/08/2026 from 4pm to 11pm. The format turns the usual habits around: browsing in the cool of the late afternoon, then by stall light once night falls on this Hautes-Alpes village.

Under the Grimaud pine wood, parking alone takes up 1.3 hectares.
