Some spring traditions are simply too cherished to miss. Every year, the village of Larchant, in Seine-et-Marne (77), just a short drive from Nemours, undergoes a charming transformation into the region’s bucolic hub for a day. The Larchant Plant Fair and Gourmet Market 2026, organized by Larchant Animation, will take place this year on Sunday, April 5, 2026. The festivities will be centered around the Tilleuls Square and Pasteur Square, right in the village’s heart. Best of all, entry is completely free.
For plant lovers, gardening enthusiasts, and botanists, the event offers everything they cherish: stalls filled with plants, shrubs, flowers, and garden accessories, all brought together by nurserymen and horticulturists. The plant exchange area is one of the morning’s highlights: visitors bring cuttings, leave with new finds, and share tips along the way. It’s a charming, straightforward ritual that adds to the warm, welcoming atmosphere that makes this event truly special.
Local craftsmanship and regional producers also take center stage, especially through the gourmet market and on-site dining areas. It’s the perfect opportunity to indulge in the flavors of the Briard countryside while filling your basket with fresh produce.
What sets Larchant apart from typical horticultural fairs is the emphasis on thoughtfulness and cultivation. Let’s not forget, we're just a few steps away from the Saint-Mathurin Church, a Gothic masterpiece designated as a historic monument. Its 50-meter-tall tower has watched over the village since the 12th century. This setting naturally encourages such reflections.
The full schedule for the day includes:
Beyond the fair itself, Larchant is well worth the visit. This picturesque village in Seine-et-Marne, located just 6 km from Nemours, is nestled on the edge of the Fontainebleau forest. Not far from the famous climbing spots of the Elephant and Dame Jouanne, visitors can easily extend their day with a walk through the woods or a visit to the Saint-Mathurin church, whose walls have witnessed history with visits from François I, Henri IV, and generations of pilgrims on their way to Compostela.
The fair takes place from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at Place Pasteur, Tilleuls Square, and the community hall in the heart of the village of Larchant (77760). All the details and registration information for exhibitors can be found on the Larchant Animation website.
