The flea markets and car boot sales in Essonne (91) are keeping up the pace this weekend, October 31 and November 1, 2026. On Sunday, Viry-Châtillon hosts its big flea market in the covered parking lot of the E.Leclerc center, with around 300 vendors.
In Limours, the department’s largest Playmobil exhibition and sale returns for two days. On All Saints’ Day, Méréville, Les Ulis and Étréchy round out the lineup with a station flea market, a charity sale and a toy fair.
Over the course of our trips to flea markets around Essonne, we’ve learned to love early November. Leaves stick to our shoes, covered parking lots become havens, and toy sales offer a taste of Christmas.
It’s the big weekend clearance sale in Essonne. On Sunday, November 1, 2026, AEM Événement is setting up its large flea market and yard sale in the covered parking lot of the E.Leclerc center in Viry-Châtillon, on Route de Grigny. Up to 300 sellers, both private individuals and professionals, are expected.
The big draw of this event is its roof. In the middle of the rainy season, you can browse the vintage decor, clothing, toys and antiques stalls without getting wet. Admission is free, and there’s a refreshment stand and toilets on site.
After a seven-year absence, the Anim Ludik association is bringing its Playmobil exhibition and sale back to Limours on Saturday, October 31 and Sunday, November 1. Spanning more than 800 m², the Le Nautilus eco-gymnasium will host giant models, activities and around twenty sellers offering new and second-hand items, collector’s pieces and spare parts.
Admission is €3, free for children under 12, with proceeds going to the Téléthon. The fair is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, indoors, with food available on site. An ideal outing for the Toussaint school holidays.
In southern Essonne, the former railway station in Méréville hosts its flea market on the first Sunday of the month, from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., at 52 rue de la Gare. Owners of vintage vehicles are invited to stop by, giving the market a retro gathering feel.
The site faces Trajan’s Tower, an 18th-century monument that serves as a landmark for finding the entrance. Admission is free, and refreshments and parking are available.
In the Ulis, a charity flea market brings together around 80 vendors at the Essouriau gymnasium from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Clothes, toys, books and small household appliances are on sale to support charitable initiatives in Cameroon, Chad and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, carried out in particular with CCFD-Terre Solidaire.
In Étréchy, the EL'Trophy association is holding a “Get Ready for Christmas” toy sale at the Jean-Monnet venue from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with around 50 exhibitors. The little ones also have their Babybroc in Bruyères-le-Châtel.
On Sunday, November 8, 2026, the monthly flea market at the Étampes leisure island and the antiques fair in Milly-la-Forêt return. Montgeron is holding a charity flea market on the same day, while Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois hosts an indoor garage sale the day before.
Admission is free to most of these events, with the exception of the Playmobil exhibition. Since November 1 is a public holiday, some transit lines are running reduced schedules: check our update on transport disruptions to avoid any surprises.
