Bonnes Flea Market

Bonnes flea markets

Bonnes is a rural Vienne commune (86300) on the Vienne river, a few km east of Chauvigny. The village, in a limestone plateau and valley landscape, is part of Vienne-Gartempe. Each year, Bonnes holds two flea markets in 2026: spring on Sunday 19 April, autumn on Sunday 20 September, per Brocmania.

This twice-yearly rhythm is common in rural villages with active community life: spring to launch the warm season, autumn to close it. Both attract private sellers, regional hunters and village atmosphere lovers.

Two dates, two moods

April brocante (19 April 2026) marks spring opening: first warm days, reblooming gardens, fresh enthusiastic atmosphere. September (20 September 2026) plays back-to-school: more settled mood, summer wardrobe clear-out, returning holidaymakers hunting late-season.
