Today, we’re taking the antique dealers and second-hand goods dealers route, which takes us to a paradise for “bric-a-brac” hunters. From furniture to unusual objects, there’s so much to discover! Here in Pézenas, you simply can’t leave empty-handed!
A Fabulous treasures to discover
Around fifty shops line Avenue de Verdun, known as the “antiques road”, all year round.
Which one to choose? Which door to step inside? Here in Pézenas, you can travel the world in a day in these places where you can wander around, relax and observe.
Whether indoors or out, its shops are brimming with a motley assortment of objects, where time stands still in the heart of this town with its rich heritage.
Here, time stands still
We enter a vast gallery that houses a multitude of indoor and outdoor objects.
The immensity of this space sharpens all our senses: our eyes scan the hanging lights, the pictures plunge us back into another time, the smell of the fabrics reminds us of the drapes on a theatre stage … and, tick-tock, tick-tock: a small clock chimes over there by the door. The smell of aged wood, mixed with the scent of beeswax and old leather, immediately transports us back to another era, while bright colours remind us of the Seventies!
Time to daydream
The place exudes a special atmosphere that immerses us in nostalgia for the past. From antique objects to true icons, each has its own story to tell and brings back memories… There’s something for every taste, from classic to vintage: furniture, glassware, crockery, decoration, antique jewellery and toys, ironwork … a whole different world to stimulate the imagination!
What will you be taking home? Any ideas? The rooms are carefully and tastefully laid out, offering a range of different decorative styles.

Two events not to be missed
In Pézenas, antique and second-hand dealers welcome you all year round.
However, don’t miss their two major events, “Le Grand Déballage”, held on the first Sunday in May and second Sunday in October. Stretching for almost a kilometre along the N113, this antiques fair brings together more than 200 professional exhibitors throughout the day. It’s the perfect opportunity to unearth a unique item, while talking to specialists and enjoying their invaluable advice.
A unique opportunity to explore Pézenas, the town of Molière, and take a culinary break in its restaurants!
