Les Puces du Moulin is a charming antique destination located in Neaufles-Saint-Martin, Normandy. Located in a beautifully restored old mill on the Lévrière River, this 600 square meter space, the brainchild of Jean and Sigrid, brings together a collective of 25 antique dealers, each offering unique vintage treasures. The layout of the space is particularly appealing, with each dealer creating a personal "mini-universe" that allows visitors to explore a variety of different styles, eras and designs. The experience is similar to walking through a curated gallery of mid-century furniture, architectural salvage, rustic pieces, and industrial objects, all thoughtfully arranged for discovery.
More than just a place to shop for antiques, Les Puces du Moulin offers an immersive experience. At the entrance, a vintage food truck often serves as the heart of the flea market's guinguette atmosphere. Here, visitors can enjoy Jean's homemade French fries and dishes made with local ingredients, giving the flea market a festive, relaxed atmosphere. The outdoor area, complete with seating, allows shoppers to relax and soak up the atmosphere. The bistro-style setting enhances the overall experience, combining the thrill of antique hunting with the simple pleasures of eating and drinking in a picturesque setting.
Les Puces du Moulin has become a popular destination for locals as well as visitors from Le Havre, Paris and beyond. Its appeal lies in the carefully selected and displayed items, ranging from small decorative pieces such as vintage mirrors and wicker baskets to large industrial furniture and mechanical parts. The variety ensures that every visitor, from the seasoned collector to the casual decorator, will find something special.
To expand its reach, Les Puces du Moulin has embraced social media. Instagram serves as an additional channel where potential buyers can reserve items and pick them up later, drawing even more traffic to the site.
