Among them, Torcy's Troc et Puces is already in its 45th edition, scheduled for Sunday, October 4, organized by the local festival committee, with stalls spread along more than 5 kilometers of walking paths in the old town. It is a major destination for second-hand treasure hunters in eastern Île-de-France and can be reached by RER A to Torcy station.

For sewing supplies, go to Nanteuil-lès-Meaux on Saturday and Villiers-sous-Grez on Sunday.

Family-friendly options include indoor events in Meaux (below the market hall, feasible on rainy days) and Salins (indoor); parents preparing for a seasonal wardrobe change can choose from the clothing charity sales in Nonville, Chaumes-en-Brie and La Houssaye-en-Brie, as well as the baby and child item charity sales in Chessy and Ury. On Saturday, there are also solidarity sales at the resource recycling shop in Champs-sur-Marne and the church relief organization in Moret-Loing-et-Orvanne; buying there is itself support for the associations.

From the Brie region to the Seine valley, the route can be linked into a complete loop: in the north, Lizy-sur-Ourcq opens along the Ourcq Canal; on the Roissy side, Mauregard sets up stalls on Allée des Marronniers; in the heart of Brie, Chaumes, Vaudoy and Valence-en-Brie form a rural route; Gouaix spreads out across the whole site in the south, while Le Mée-sur-Seine and Vaux-le-Pénil are at the gateway to Melun. Organizers remind visitors that late-season schedules change quickly, especially for outdoor events, so it is best to confirm with the local government or organizer one day in advance; given that most stalls do not accept bank cards, it is best to bring cash.
