The best flea markets Lorraine

In the middle of the hotel you can find this tiny pedestrian street in front of Saint-Alpine church. A model, a table and an ensign draw the eye to this beautiful house, which is set up in a boutique. We move from one piece to the other, caressing from the eye or hand to furniture from a variety of times, from sometimes narrow aisles. Rustic cabinets, secretaries in good condition, show their patina. Old objects complement the framework: crockery of yesteryear, chandeliers, lamps, crystal or bronze, gramophone with or without pavilion, military or pretty trinkets… Patrick Pierrejean buys and sells.

At the bottom of the gallery, the clever chineur exposes the objects and magazines that date back to his open doors. The realm of Chineur, the whole shop is full of collections of iron boxes, old posters, dolls, seats, a real attic! The house also disposes of greniers on demand and considers what is in it.

The crossroads of arts, antiques and antiques takes place on a monthly basis in the covered market, Saint-Antoine Square and the city centre all year round. Free admission. Contact information (Tel.) 03 83 26 38 96 or 06 19 72 47 71.

A good plan for small budgets and anyone who would like to discover another facet of Épinal. Every year, the union of shopkeepers and craftsmen of Epinal organizes two large sales and yard sales (late June or early July depending on the year and the ^second Sunday in September). Thousands of people find themselves in the streets of Epinal. An unmissable event where you will find products of all kinds! A festive atmosphere where you can do business and find products at low prices. DVD, household appliances, telephony, fashion, clothing, DIY... Most of the city's merchants participate in this popular event. A real fair atmosphere that will delight young and old alike. During the summer sale, you will also find a tea dance hosted on site by an accordionist.

In the courtyard already some objects wait amateurs: lady-jeanne, chair and other bottles. Inside, the furniture lovers of the th century find tables, buffets, cupboards and seats that smell the wax, as well as pedestal, bedside. By hanging your head, we see beautiful suspensions of yesteryear. The place is full of other opportunities: a lot of plates, a banjo, canes and umbrellas. There were also posters, books and books…
