Condividere
Whether you're relocating to the French Riviera, furnishing a new property, or simply hunting for that perfect vintage piece — buying second-hand furniture in the Côte d’Azur offers a smart, stylish, and sustainable solution.
From designer resale gems to weekend brocante treasures, the South of France is rich with opportunities. Here’s our guide to the best places to shop, plus why Meubles Monaco is becoming a go-to for curated, high-end second-hand furniture across the region.
1. Meubles Monaco – Curated, Design-Led Resale (Online & Monaco)
Let’s start with us — because we're doing things a little differently.

🪑 Perfect for: Expats, interior designers, and discerning buyers who want beautiful furniture without the retail mark-up — or the hassle.

2. Brocantes & Vide-Greniers – Local Treasures (Various Towns)
France is famous for its brocantes (flea markets) and vide-greniers (boot sales) — and the Côte d’Azur is no exception.
Top spots to explore:
-
Brocante de Nice (Cours Saleya): A charming market with antiques, small furnishings & art
-
Marché Brocante à Cannes: Stylish picks in a town known for design
-
Vide-Greniers in Antibes & Menton: Great for occasional surprises and second-home furniture
🪑 Perfect for: Browsers and bargain-hunters who enjoy the thrill of discovery
📍 Tip: Bring cash, measure your space in advance, and arrive early
3. Facebook Marketplace & Leboncoin – Local Listings, Mixed Results
If you’re lucky (and patient), Facebook Marketplace and Leboncoin (France’s Craigslist-style platform) can be sources for deals.
But here’s the catch:
-
Items go quickly
-
Quality varies massively
-
You’ll need to manage pickup and assess authenticity yourself
🪑 Perfect for: Buyers on a budget with time to spare
📍 Tip: Search by town or postal code, and always inspect in person before purchasing
4. High-End Consignment Shops – Cannes, Nice & Monaco
A few boutique second-hand shops offer stylish options, especially in:
-
Cannes: Around Rue Hoche and Marché Forville
-
Nice: Quartier Libération often has vintage and mid-century gems
-
Monaco: A few discreet consignment shops cater to high-end turnover
🪑 Perfect for: Clients who want to see pieces in person, with a retail-style setting
5. Why More People Are Shopping Second-Hand in the Riviera
Beyond style and savings, here’s why second-hand furniture is trending:
-
Sustainability – Lower environmental impact than buying new
-
Speed – Many pieces are ready to go (no waiting for production or shipping delays)
-
Uniqueness – Your home won't look like a showroom — it'll feel personal
-
Access to design – Buy premium pieces at a fraction of the cost
