This Ascension Thursday, May 29, 2025, flea markets and garage sales are coming to Paris and the Ile-de-France region, ready to make bargain hunters' hearts skip a beat. Treasures by the bucketload, finds in spades, and a retro atmosphere under the open sky... the day promises to be "vintagingly" perfect!
Garage sales, flea markets and flea markets in and around Paris... on Thursday, May 29, 2025, it's open-air mayhem! Ascension Day is just around the corner, and with it a flurry of vintage events that transform sidewalks, alleyways and village squares into real-life Ali Baba's caves. It's a golden opportunity - or a Formica one - to bargain for all that time has weathered away.
Stalls are overflowing, labels are coming off, and bargains are waiting for the early birds. Whether you've got the keen eye of a professional bargain hunter or the enthusiasm of a curious stroller, this is a day to remember. Vintage clothes, retro crockery, old-fashioned comics, forgotten objects, family treasures: here, nothing collects dust, everything is ready to live a new life.
We rummage, we pry, we negotiate... and sometimes, we find the rare pearl between two plastic crates. Because on this Thursday holiday, the whole region is emptying its attics and letting its memories shine!
