Antiques and Gastronomy Fair in Châtelaillon-Plage 2026

The Salon des Antiquaires et des Gastronomes returns to Châtelaillon-Plage from 30 October to 1 November 2026, following two highly successful editions. Organised by Mercure Communication at the town's Complexe Polyvalent, the fair brings together antique dealers, galleries and exhibitors specialising in furniture, paintings, sculptures, tableware, jewellery, glassware and tapestries. The event blends three complementary worlds: antiques, gastronomy and a flea market. The gourmet area showcases selected wines and regional food products, while the brocante section is open only on Sunday 1 November. With a wider and more varied offer than in previous years, the fair is designed for unhurried browsing and discovering one-of-a-kind pieces. Opening hours are 10:00 to 19:00 on all three days. Admission is €5, free for accompanied under-15s. Châtelaillon-Plage, a seaside town near La Rochelle, hosts this edition, making it easy to pair a visit to the fair with a weekend stay on the Atlantic coast. If you plan to attend, book your accommodation in Châtelaillon-Plage or the La Rochelle area early. The event draws both the general public and trade visitors, and local hotel capacity is in high demand over that weekend.
