Autumn Sale — Lachaud de Rougeac (Rosières)

The Autumn Sale of Lachaud de Rougeac

Nestled in the hills of Velay, the hamlet of Lachaud de Rougeac, in the commune of Rosières (43800), is the scene every third Sunday of September for an autumn sale that brings together antique dealers, bargain hunters, and the curious in an authentic rural setting. Organized by the association Les Amis de Lachaud de Rougeac, this annual event has built a loyal following of enthusiasts while remaining anchored in the popular and friendly spirit of country markets.

An accessible and well-organized sale

Participation conditions are simple and accessible. For €4 per 5-meter pitch with a vehicle, private sellers and professionals can set up in the hamlet and offer their merchandise. The low-cost formula encourages everyone to participate and gives the sale its eclectic and endearing character: rustic furniture, old tools, farm crockery, books, and everyday objects sit alongside pieces from more seasoned dealers.

The organization ensures the comfort of exhibitors and visitors: toilets are available, a refreshment stand allows for drinks or light snacks, and free visitor parking is arranged nearby to facilitate access to the site.
