The Marché aux Puces Lachute (Lachute Flea Market) in Quebec is one of the most talked about and influential flea markets in the region. First opened in 1955, it has been featured in various Canadian newspapers and radio shows, as well as an episode of Antique Hunter and Canadian Pickers. The owners of the market proudly proclaim that if they don't have it, you don't need it! You can find just about anything your heart desires.
The main event takes place on Tuesdays, and a smaller market is open on Sundays. The Tuesday market is also a farmer's market with fresh fruits, vegetables and other produce, and a horse auction! There is also a large antique mall for you to explore and pick up vintage gems, as well as the various outside antique vendors. The Marché aux Puces Lachute is a fun family day out - listen to live music, sample local food and drinks, mingle with the locals and have a day you'll never forget.
The Marché aux Puces Lachute has a really friendly atmosphere. Everyone is chatting with each other about their day and their love of vintage and secondhand items. You can tell that all the vendors are really happy to be there amidst the hustle and bustle.
We can't say that this flea market specializes in any one type of antique or area of interest, because there is such a wide variety of goods on offer. However, the antique furniture here is the best you'll find in all of Quebec. We suggest you get there (very early - the antiques are usually sold out by 7 a.m. on Tuesdays) and dig through tons of treasures and trinkets!
