La Braderie de Lille: Huge flea market
  • Tip Rating:
  • My husband and I love flea markets and La Braderie must be one of the largest. It's held every year on the first weekend in September (September 2-3, 2006) and the streets are jam packed with people selling a little of everything, used goods, new goods, street food, I think everyone who lives in the area must empty out their houses for this, it's that big!!!!

    We came on Sunday morning and spent several hours walking through the maze of streets crowded with people buying and people selling. Last time we found a map of what kind of goods were where, this time we just wandered aimlessly. But you might want to print out a map from the attached website just in case you get lost!

    Deux jours de folie attirent chaque premier week-end de septembre plus un million de visiteur. Cest sans doute le plus grand marché aux puces deEurope.
    Imaginez 200 km de trottoirs occupés par les Bradeux, habitants de la métropole ou brocanteurs venus de toute Europe.

    Place Sebastopol - Saturday food market
    On our first day in Lille we came across a small market at Place Sebastopol, the square named after the nearby theatre. There were some lovely food stalls so, as it was such a lovely day, we decided to shop for a picnic. We bought baguettes, rotisserie chicken and fruit, picked up a few complimentary cartons of Gazpacho and went for a picnic in the local park. The Sebastopol market is open on Wednesday and Saturday mornings.
