The Great Spring Bazaar 2026 takes place from May 6 to May 9, 2026, in downtown Montpellier. This giant sale organized by the CCI Hérault and the City of Montpellier brings together merchants from the city center and the suburbs. For some, it's about finding great deals, while for others, it's about clearing out stock.
