On 22-23 August 2026, flea markets and antique fairs run right across Bourgogne-Franche-Comté: Sapois expects 3,000 bargain hunters in the Haut-Jura, Soucy lines up as many as 300 stalls on its football pitch.
Seven in the morning, on a mountain car park.
Sapois, Sunday 23 August, a few kilometres from Champagnole. Flea markets and antique fairs fill both days across Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, from place Carnot in Beaune to the football pitches of the Sénonais, and the region’s largest private-seller sale takes place in a Jura mountain village.
Three thousand visitors in a mountain village
Sapois Loisirs has been running its August sale since 1992, on the car park of the village hall on route de Sirod. Around eighty stalls, and one rule that never changes: private sellers only, no dealers on the pitch.
Three thousand visitors for one mountain village.
That figure puts the day among the biggest in the Haut-Jura. Sellers set up at 6am, trading opens at 7am, the car park empties at 5pm.
Eighty stalls for three thousand people: the ratio belongs to a village fête rather than a trade fair, and the whole thing fits on one piece of ground, the village hall car park.
A private-seller sale on that scale is unusual: most of the big events in the region take dealers too, at Soucy and at Les Clérimois. Sapois has held the opposite line for thirty-four years, on the same car park, in the same late-August slot.
The whole thing runs on the single day of 23/08/2026.
Four Yonne villages, one Sunday
The Sénonais carries most of the day.
On the football pitch at Soucy, a step away from Sens, the village committee sale lines up 200 to 300 stalls, private sellers and dealers together, at 2.50 euros per linear metre. Out on the farmland between Sens and Joigny, Les Clérimois marks its twenty-fifth edition with 100 to 200 stalls.
Further east, in the Tonnerrois, Roffey’stival adds a local crafts market, artisan black pudding and three concerts to its car boot sale, between Tonnerre and Ancy-le-Franc. By the river, Courlon-sur-Yonne pairs its sale with a vintage car show, the village’s second event of the year.
Four villages, four formats, one day.
In the Jura, Souvans sets out about a hundred stalls on place Lucien Lambey, in front of the village hall, from 7am to 6pm: crockery, clothes, toys and bric-a-brac at low prices, with free coffee for sellers arriving from 6.30am and chips at lunchtime.
