Regional fairs and markets in France

Overview

Various regional fairs and markets are scheduled for 2026 in France.

In Vendée, the calendar includes a large antique fair in La Roche-sur-Yon in April with approximately 400 exhibitors, as well as Ligneronnais flea markets in Saint-Christophe-du-Ligneron during July and August. Seasonal markets are also planned for Noirmoutier and Île d'Yeu.

The Foire de Marseille is taking place at Parc Chanot from September 25 to October 5, 2026. This edition, themed ‘La Méditerranée en scène’, focuses on the cultures, flavors, and craftsmanship of the Mediterranean basin.

The event utilizes a restructured 120,000 m² exhibition space designed for fluid movement and increased greenery, hosting nearly 1,000 exhibitors. Sectors include home decor, outdoor living, fashion, leisure, and gastronomy. A central feature is the ‘Allée de la Méditerranée’, an immersive path offering virtual reality experiences, exhibitions on the Cosquer Cave and posidonia seagrass, and participatory workshops in crafts such as ceramics and calligraphy.

Culinary offerings center on Mediterranean flavors through a dedicated food court. As of early October, the event includes a special gastronomic program organized by the association Gourméditerranée on the weekend of October 3 and 4, featuring demonstrations by renowned chefs.
