The flea markets and yard sales in Essonne (91) are gearing up for Sunday this weekend, November 7 and 8, 2026. The Étampes leisure island is hosting its monthly flea market, with more than 300 vendors, while Milly-la-Forêt is bringing antiques out under its covered market hall.
Corbeil-Essonnes, Montgeron and Gif-sur-Yvette round out Sunday's lineup, while Saturday is split between an indoor flea market in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois and toy fairs that already have a festive feel.
During our trips to flea markets across Essonne, we’ve gotten into the habit of looking forward to the second weekend in November. The big outdoor markets are holding their last events of the year, while community halls fill up with Christmas baubles and toys at bargain prices.
It’s the big weekend market in Essonne. On Sunday, November 8, 2026, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., the monthly flea market at Étampes leisure island takes over the entrance parking lot on Avenue Charles-de-Gaulle. Private sellers and professionals mingle there, at one of the 30 events held throughout the year.
Early birds have the advantage, as always. Admission is free, and a stroll around the ponds is a good way to walk off your finds, if the forecast showers let up.
Every month, around twenty professional dealers set up under the market hall in the town center of Milly-la-Forêt for an antiques fair, from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Paintings, ornaments, vintage toys and small pieces of furniture are displayed beneath the shelter of the large timber roof structure.
The village, on the edge of the Forest of Fontainebleau, is then ideal for a stroll. The next date is set for December 13.
In Corbeil-Essonnes, the Tarterêts market hall is hosting a flea market and a secondhand market with up to 150 vendors, from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Coin and banknote collectors can also visit their numismatic fair in the morning on avenue Carnot.
In Montgeron, the charity flea market organized by the Les Amis de Grand-Popo association brings together 50 to 100 private sellers from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with an exhibition, handicrafts and Christmas decorations.
On Sunday, Gif-sur-Yvette is hosting its Kid's Broc at the Plaine sports center, while La Ville-du-Bois is holding a “Vide ta chambre” where children sell their own toys. Saintry-sur-Seine, meanwhile, is hosting a toy and baby-care items sale.
In the south of the département, Boigneville and Champcueil are adding Christmas decorations to their toy fairs, over two days. On Saturday, Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois is hosting an indoor flea market at an unusual venue, “La Piscine d'en Face,” from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
On Saturday, November 14, Athis-Mons is holding its autumn flea market at the Espace René-L'Helguen, while Palaiseau is hosting a special Christmas toy fair.
On Sunday, November 15, the Villabé flea market is set to feature up to 400 vendors for its final date of the year. The full schedule can be found on Brocabrac and Vide-greniers.org.
Bargain hunters who love big flea markets head to Étampes, while fans of beautiful antiques make for Milly-la-Forêt. Parents are spoiled for choice when it comes to filling their Christmas stockings, from Gif-sur-Yvette to Boigneville. Showers are possible this weekend, so it’s best to bring an umbrella for outdoor events.
