Ascension Flea Market of Beaumont-la-Ronce

Over 400 exhibitors over 3 km around the castle

The Ascension flea market in Beaumont-la-Ronce is a major event in the flea market calendar of Indre-et-Loire. Every Ascension Thursday, more than 400 exhibitors — professionals and individuals — set up along a route of over 3 kilometers around the castle of Beaumont-la-Ronce. The offer is considerable: antique furniture, earthenware, trinkets, tools, books, vinyl records, toys, linens, clothing, and a thousand curiosities. From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., bargain hunters explore this long ribbon of stalls in a rural and wooded setting, between the castle park and the village streets.
