The Normandy region is hosting numerous summer activities and markets during the weekend of August 15-16, 2026.

In La Haye-du-Puits, a major flea market is expected to attract over 25,000 visitors. The event features more than 350 stands managed by professionals and individuals, offering antiques, collectibles, and second-hand goods.

In the Calvados department, approximately 14 flea markets and antique fairs are scheduled across locations such as Caen, Cabourg, and Aure-sur-Mer. Meanwhile, the Cotentin area offers various leisure activities, including canoe trips in Picauville, sandcastle competitions in Quinéville, and an antiques exhibition at the Château de Crosville-sur-Douve.

Additionally, the South Manche region continues its seasonal schedule with nearly thirty weekly and summer markets operating in towns like Granville, Saint-Hilaire-du-Harcouët, and Avranches.
