Bastille Day Flea Market in Domfront-en-Poiraie

A Braderie in an Exceptional Medieval Setting

Every July 14th, the medieval city of Domfront-en-Poiraie comes alive with its traditional braderie-flea market. Exhibitors set up from rue du Maréchal Foch to place Saint-Julien, offering bargain hunters a unique treasure hunting route at the foot of the ramparts and historic streets of this former Norman stronghold.
