The flea markets and garage sales of the Essonne (91) aren’t slowing down this weekend of October 3-4, 2026. After the Bout Galeux in Palaiseau, the relay passes to Viry-Châtillon, which will host a large flea market on Sunday on a covered parking area, and to Épinay-sur-Orge, where Spino'Broc is marking its 41st edition.
Around these two flagship moments, nearly 25 events are spread across the department, from Évry-Courcouronnes to Méréville, via Gif-sur-Yvette and Brétigny-sur-Orge.
Across our forays into the Essonne flea markets, we’ve noticed that the first Sunday of October still holds plenty of surprises. The southern villages roll out their stalls one last time before winter, while the towns lean toward sheltered formats.
On Sunday, two events shine through. In Viry-Châtillon, the large covered flea market takes over the sheltered parking lot at the E.Leclerc mall. Its upside: the stalls stay under cover, a sure bet if October weather throws a wrench in plans. The organizers hype it as a very busy gathering, so you’ll want to arrive early.
Just a few kilometers away, Épinay-sur-Orge hosts the 41e Spino'Broc in the Parc des Templiers. With more than forty editions under its belt, it’s the kind of flea market that residents of the Orge valley mark on their calendars year after year. The leafy setting is ideal for a relaxed family stroll.
On the Évry-Courcouronnes side, the flea market and garage sale on Rue Léopold-Sédar-Senghor rounds out this trio, with a refreshment stand to be announced on-site.
Country-side lovers have plenty to enjoy. In Méréville, the station flea market is paired with a display of vintage cars, a treat for fans of chrome-plated classic bodies. To extend the outing, the departmental domain of Méréville and its eighteenth-century landscaped park are just a stone’s throw away.
In Buno-Bonnevaux, in the Gâtinais, the flea market runs alongside the Beetroot Festival, a nod to the crops that shape the area’s landscapes. Farther north, Briis-sous-Forges, Brières-les-Scellés, Itteville and Saint-Jean-de-Beauregard go for a friendly vibe, with formats organized by local associations.
In Dannemois, the ATA association’s flea market unfolds Saturday and Sunday inside the Niki-de-Saint-Phalle hall. The name isn’t accidental: the Cyclop sculpture by the artist is tucked away in the woods of Milly-la-Forêt, just nearby. And Dannemois also remembers Claude François, who kept a house there, near the famed mill.
Sewing enthusiasts have two spots this Sunday: the sewing flea market in Méréville and the sewing clearance sale in Villemoisson-sur-Orge. Fabrics, notions, and patterns go at bargain prices there, the perfect kickstart for an autumn project.
Children aren’t being left out. On Saturday, the Plessis-Pâté “Broc’enfants” and Sermaise’s “Vide ta chambre” take the starring role for kids, ahead of Sunday’s children’s-only flea market in Athis-Mons. For parents, the budgets of Vert-le-Petit, Ballainvilliers, Évry-Courcouronnes and Oncy-sur-École let you gear up for a winter wardrobe without breaking the bank.
Finally, the solidarity flea market in Limours and the indoor flea market in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois offer two sheltered options for Saturday.
Because the program spans genres. Regular bargain-hunters will head to Viry-Châtillon and Épinay-sur-Orge at opening, families will find their happiness in kids’ flea markets and fairs, and curious shoppers will enjoy the southern villages for a true autumn stroll.
Entry is free at most of these flea markets and garage sales. Hours vary from town to town, so a quick check on the town hall’s site or the organizer’s page before you head out can spare you a few surprises. Also plan to bring cash, since many private sellers don’t take cards, and check the Météo-France forecast for outdoor browsing.
