Where to find bargains in Provence?

Provence’s flea markets and garage sales are numerous and regularly organized throughout the year. For those of you who’d like to visit them one by one, but don’t have much time to set off on your own, there are still a few inescapable landmarks that should be on your agenda. To begin your Provence flea market adventure, head to Marseille’s large Arnavaux market. Located on the chemin de Madrague, this 17,000 sq. m. market is home to hundreds of private and professional exhibitors. The market brings together second-hand dealers, fairground traders, craftsmen and artists, as well as hangars housing antique dealers. Also in Marseille, the “Puces de Fifi” is a concept launched by 9 second-hand and antique dealers who get together to offer vintage furniture, industrial objects, books, kitchen utensils… All around a very welcoming restaurant and café. For those who like to rummage through bric-a-brac, the Eguilles and Lambesc garage sales are a must: art objects, antique furniture, articles of clothing, masquerade costume, kitchen utensils, decorative items… If you’re in the Aubagne area, you’ll be pleased to know that its large antique fair, with over 120 exhibitors, takes place on the last Sunday of every month. Vintage enthusiasts, philatelists and cartophiles will find impressive collections of books and vinyl.
