The flea markets and car boot sales in the Essonne (91) go on holiday mode this weekend of October 24–25, 2026. On Sunday, Saclas kicks off its monthly flea market, while Ris-Orangis hosts the 20th edition of its multi-collection fair.
In the southern part of the department, Baulne is clearing out its cellars and attics near La Ferté-Alais. On Saturday, the Red Cross flea market in Saint-Michel-sur-Orge adds a tighter program to an already brisk lineup, right in the middle of the All Saints’ Day holidays.
As we wander through Essonne’s flea markets, we’ve grown to appreciate these late-October weekends. Fewer exhibitors, but village-style hunts where people take time to chat, and collector fairs where every binder hides a surprise.
Great news for bargain-hunters in the southern Essonne: the Union for Saclas' schoolchildren announces the resumption of its brocante mensuelle, with the next event set for Sunday, October 25, 2026, in the town centre. Clothes, décor, toys, books and crockery will be on offer from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission is free and a refreshment stand will welcome visitors all day. Proceeds support the village’s schoolchildren, another reason to swing by the Juine Valley. Next date to note: Sunday, November 15, 2026.
On Sunday, the 20th Ris-Orangis multi-collections fair brings together between 50 and 100 exhibitors at the Jesse-Owens gym, on Avenue de l'Aunette. Old papers, postcards, stamps, fèves, pin badges, champagne muselets, vinyl records, coins, banknotes and tourist tokens form a Prévert-worthy jumble.
The fair runs from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., indoors, with refreshments available on site. An indoor outing, perfect for rainy days, and a great way to introduce kids to the joys of the collection during the holidays.
The Baulne Village association is organizing this Sunday its cellar-and-attic clearance sale at Salle Pouteau, on Rue du Mosnil. All the exhibitors are private individuals, set up both indoors and in the parking area, with a drinks stand on site and free admission.
The village sits just a stone’s throw from La Ferté-Alais, in the Essonne valley. Stroll lovers can stretch out the day along the river, weaving through woodlands and gentle hills.
On Saturday, the Croix-Rouge braderie in Saint-Michel-sur-Orge will offer great bargains while supporting the work of the French Red Cross.
Shoppers from the northeast of Essonne can also cross into Seine-et-Marne. About twenty minutes from Ris-Orangis, Cesson opens this Sunday with the first flea market at the Bois-Sénart shopping center, drawing more than 300 exhibitors, while Savigny-le-Temple is hosting its own flea market and rummage sale. The full details are in our guide to the brocantes de Seine-et-Marne.
The seamstresses' flea market in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois, slated for Saturday, October 24, 2026, has been announced as canceled. It's wise to double-check the date with the organizer the day before.
Sunday, November 1, 2026 is shaping up to be busier. Viry-Châtillon will host a large flea market in the covered car park at the E.Leclerc center, Le Mérévillois will host a flea market featuring a display of vintage vehicles, and Les Ulis will host a solidarity flea market. Playmobil fans should also note the Limours Playmobil exhibition-sale, on October 31 and November 1.
Entrance is free for the vast majority of these sales. Plan to bring change, as many sellers don’t take cards, and pack a light sweater for the cool mornings. A quick glance at our weather bulletin and our update on transport disruptions helps you avoid surprises.
For the latest updates, the event calendars Brocabrac and Vide-greniers.org remain reliable sources.
Village bargain-hunters will head to Saclas and Baulne, while collectors have Ris-Orangis in their sights. Those craving a big yard sale can swing by Cesson, just over the departmental border.
