Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, in the Vaucluse region, is the third largest European marketplace for antiques. Since the 1960s, it has been a meeting place for professionals and "bargain hunters," especially during its two annual international fairs. The Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Brocante and Antiques Fair takes place during Easter weekend and August 15th: two dates that antique enthusiasts never miss!
Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, located 24 km from Avignon, is a charming town in Vaucluse. But did you know that it is also the third European hub for antique trade, behind London and Saint-Ouen?
In the town, the antique and art sector employs over 250 professionals (antique dealers, second-hand dealers, merchants). A local feature is that several dozen antique dealers gather under one roof in real Ali Baba caves!
This destination is therefore very popular with bargain hunters and professional traders, especially during the two annual international fairs. The Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Antique Fair is held during the Easter weekend and around August 15th.
The Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Flea and Antiques Fair will take place from April 7th to 10th, 2023 and from August 11th to 15th, 2023.
With 200 exhibitors in the streets, on the docks and in Gautier park, combined with the 250 antique, art and decoration shops in the town, this fair dedicated to flea markets, antiques, design, decor and contemporary art attracts up to 120,000 visitors.
For this new edition, exhibitors will be divided into 4 thematic areas: Antiques & Flea Markets, Contemporary Art, Old Books and Design & Decor.
Among the activities offered:
- A Decor Space designed by professionals from L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue with a different staging every day. A true source of inspiration for visitors!
- a Mémoire de Poilus exhibition commemorating the centenary of the Great War with original posters and period objects
- An Easter Egg Hunt: the Easter bells will deposit 3000 chocolate eggs in the midst of antique goods! To find them, children aged 3 to 11 are invited on Monday, April 21st at 10am in Gautier park.
The Isle-sur-la-Sorgue Flea and Antiques Fair takes place from April 7th to 10th, 2023 and August 11th to 15th, 2023.
