The Legendary Lille Braderie – September 5 & 6 :
This is THE unmissable event of the season! Europe’s most famous flea market returns from Saturday, September 5 at 8:00 a.m. to Sunday, September 6 at 6:00 p.m.
For two unforgettable days, Lille turns into a huge open-air treasure hunt and celebration. Antique dealers, professional traders, local residents and visitors take over the streets, creating an atmosphere unlike anywhere else.

A wonderful opportunity to experience Lille from a different perspective!
