Antiques come to the table, in Lorgues
In the heart of the green Provence, in our hidden garden in Lorgues, antique dealers and treasure hunters lay out their finds: vintage furniture, ceramics and curiosities, to unearth between two courses.
Open-air antiques, in a hidden garden
At Carnets de Voyage, art and antiques have a seat at the table. We open our lounge and our garden to the region's antique dealers: a stroll among patinated furniture, objects from another time and curiosities, to discover from the lounge to the hidden garden.
You browse in the shade of the olive tree, you sit down, and sometimes you leave with a find. In Lorgues, antiques aren't just another car-boot sale: it's a stopover, between a terrace lunch and a café gourmand.

Antiques, and everything around them in Lorgues
The treasure hunt extends our gallery and our art of hosting. Carry on the visit from one room to the next:
Salvaged furniture, ceramics & objects from another time
In the hidden garden, the antique dealers unpack their finds: patinated chests, travel trunks, old crockery, vases and small curiosities that change with the seasons. Nothing is fixed — every visit holds its surprise.
Fallen for something? The pieces are for sale directly. Just ask — we'll put you in touch with the dealer, with no middleman and no pressure.
For sale directly.
Treasure hunting in the shade of the olive tree
In the warmer months, the hunt moves outside, in the quiet of the garden. You wander from one stand to the next, glass in hand, before sitting down to eat. A Provençal interlude, a few steps from the centre of Lorgues.
Browsing in Lorgues: from the Tuesday market to our garden
In Lorgues, treasure hunting is a stroll. Our 1780 house stands on avenue Allongue, a short walk from the historic centre and the market square: you can go from the village stalls to the finds in our lounge and a table in the garden, without getting back in the car.
- 01
The Tuesday market
Every Tuesday morning, the big Provençal market sets up in the village centre: fresh produce, olives, cheeses and crafts. The perfect starting point for a morning of browsing.
- 02
The lounge and the hidden garden
A few steps further, push open our door: patinated furniture, ceramics, trunks and curiosities wait in the lounge, then along the garden paths in the warmer months.

A table to finish
Sit down in the shade of the olive tree or on the terrace, your find right beside you. We are open Tuesday and Thursday to Sunday: a phone call is all it takes to keep a table.

Where are the antiques in Lorgues?
At 12 avenue Allongue, in Lorgues (83510), in the lounge and hidden garden of the Carnets de Voyage restaurant, in the heart of the green Provence.
When can I browse?
The hunt is mostly set up in the warmer months, in the garden; the lounge objects can be seen all year, during opening hours (Tuesday, then Thursday to Sunday). Call us to confirm.

Do I have to order to browse?
No, the stroll is free. But the best way is to wander between two courses, on the terrace or in the garden.
Can I combine the antiques with the Lorgues market?
Yes. The big Provençal market takes place every Tuesday morning in the village centre, and our house is on avenue Allongue, a short walk from the market square: you can easily go from the stalls to the antiques lounge, then to the table.
I'm an antique dealer — can I exhibit?
Gladly. Write to us and we'll explain how to lay out your finds in the lounge or the garden.
Push open the door, wander among the finds, then sit down to eat. And if you hunt for treasures yourself, let's talk.
