How Often Does Maisons du Monde Have Sales? The 2026-2027 Sales Calendar, and a Black Friday Snapshot: 34.4% of 1,398 Items Were Exactly 20% or 50% Off

Maisons du Monde's official sales are set by law, twice a year: in France the winter soldes run from January 6 to February 2, 2027 and the summer soldes from June 23 to July 20, 2027; in Belgium the winter sales run from January 2 to 31, 2027. On top of those it runs Black Friday, which falls on November 27, 2026, and private sales for registered customers. Its Black Friday promotion was already running when we read the French site on November 14, 2026: of 1,398 items sold by Maisons du Monde in six categories, 481 (34.4%) were on promotion, and every one of them was exactly 20% or 50% off. One day of data shows how deep and how wide a promotion is, not how often promotions happen; that takes daily readings, which we set up with Scavio's Maisons du Monde API.

The question comes from r/belgium, posted on June 7, 2023: a buyer planning an order of around 5,000 euros had been waiting a month for a promotion, was "getting a bit impatient", and asked when to pull the trigger. The thread has 5 comments and a score of 1, but it is the first Google result in Belgium for "when does maisons du monde have sales", so the question is still being asked. One reply said Maisons du Monde runs private sales of up to 50% off for registered customers; another said the items they wanted never made it into those sales. On a 5,000-euro order, the difference between 20% and 50% off is 1,500 euros, so both the dates and the depth matter.

The dated calendar

• Black Friday: Friday, November 27, 2026. Maisons du Monde's Black Friday grid was live on November 14 in every market we checked: 1,005 items sold by Maisons du Monde in France, 1,002 in Belgium and 998 in Switzerland.
• French winter soldes: Wednesday, January 6, 2027 from 8 a.m. to Tuesday, February 2, 2027. France's official tourism site says the national calendar sets these dates and that they apply to brands' websites as well as shops. The summer soldes run June 23 to July 20, 2027.
• Belgian winter sales: January 2 to 31, 2027. The City of Brussels says a Belgian trader can sell under the name "sales" (solden, soldes) only twice a year, in periods set by law, and that 2027's winter sales start on Saturday, January 2.
• Private sales: for registered customers, at dates Maisons du Monde announces itself. Their prices need an account, and we did not read them.

One more fact belongs here. In its first-half 2026 results, published September 25, 2026, Maisons du Monde said: "During Q2, we took the deliberate decision to reduce promotional intensity" (results and sales). Fewer promotions outside the big windows is the company's own stated direction for 2026.

What was on promotion on November 14, 2026

We read six categories on the French site, sofas, dining tables, chairs, beds, mirrors and rugs, limited to items sold by Maisons du Monde itself (the French site also lists marketplace sellers, who set their own prices). For each category, POST /api/v1/maisonsdumonde/category with "sold_by": "mdm" returns the exact item count and a discount summary: how many items are on promotion and how many are at least 20, 30, 40 and 50% off. We then read every discounted item, 481 of them, with "on_sale": true, to see each one's price, crossed-out price and percentage. That is 27 calls for France, between 18:11 and 18:16 UTC, and the same six counts in Belgium and Switzerland.

• Dining tables: 43.0% on promotion (65 of 151), mostly at 20% off; 18 were half price.
• Rugs: 37.0% (60 of 162), 19 at 50% off.
• Sofas: 35.8% (172 of 480), and the most half-price items of any category: 88, or 18.3% of all sofas.
• Mirrors: 33.7% (102 of 303), 44 at 50% off.
• Chairs: 27.3% (66 of 242), but 43 of the 66 were half price.
• Beds: 26.7% (16 of 60), only 2 at 50% off.

Three things stood out:

• Two discount levels, nothing else. Every one of the 481 discounted items was exactly 20% or 50% off: 267 at 20%, 214 at 50%. There was no 10%, 30% or 40%, so a "deep" promotion here means half price, and 15.3% of the six categories were at that level.
• The Black Friday badge is not the whole promotion. 216 of the 481 discounted items carried no BLACK FRIDAY badge, including 154 of the 214 at half price, and 70 were labeled new. The City 3-seat sofa was 449.50 euros instead of 899 with no badge at all. Read the price, not the label.
• Belgium and Switzerland looked almost the same. In the same six categories, 483 of 1,429 items were on promotion in Belgium (33.8%, 217 at half price) and 473 of 1,449 in Switzerland (32.6%, 211 at half price), at the same two levels. On the 170 discounted sofas we could match between France and Belgium, the discount was identical on every one, though Belgium charged a different price on 19 of them, 18 lower; the best Maisons du Monde promo price APIs has that comparison.

Do the better items go on sale?

One reply in the thread doubted that the items worth buying ever get discounted. We tested a version of that with the rating filter: among items rated 4 stars and up, 274 of 952 (28.8%) were on promotion, against 34.4% of all items, and 128 (13.4%) were half price, against 15.3%. So top-rated items were discounted a little less often, but plenty were. A Scandinavian-style velvet chair rated 4.76 from 113 reviews was 29.95 euros instead of 59.99; a black steel window mirror rated 4.52 from 122 reviews was 27.45 instead of 54.99; a 3-seat corduroy sofa rated 4.79 from 52 reviews was 399.50 instead of 799. Ratings are what buyers posted on Maisons du Monde's site, pooled across its markets.

What one day cannot tell you

• How often. A snapshot taken during Black Friday says what a promotion looks like, not how many promotions a year there are or how long a price stays down. That takes the same reading every day for months.
• Whether an item comes back. Another reply said a bed bought at 50% off was back at full price a month later. Our data starts on November 14, 2026; a daily series will show which of these 481 items return to their crossed-out price after Black Friday and which are discounted again on January 6.
• Private-sale and store prices. Private sales need an account, and store prices can differ from online ones. These are online prices on the public site.

If you are timing a large order, the simplest move is to write down the items you want and their prices now, then check them on November 27 and on the first day of the winter sales. How to get Maisons du Monde promo prices does that daily in a script.
