Bouresse House Clearance

A house clearance in rural Montmorillonnais

Bouresse is a tiny Vienne village, around 650 inhabitants, at the heart of Montmorillonnais — one of the least populated, best-preserved parts of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. 15 min from Lussac-les-Châteaux, 25 min from Montmorillon (the book city), Bouresse sits in farming countryside. On 25-26 April 2026, a private resident holds a house clearance open to all.

What to find

• Country or classic furniture (chests, wardrobes, tables, chairs)
• Vintage dishware, cutlery, glassware
• Household linens, curtains, bedspreads
• Books, magazines, sometimes old records
• Garden tools, hardware
• Decor, lighting, knick-knacks

Rural house-clearance charm

Village house clearances often delight rural thrifting fans: homes may keep old furniture, everyday objects from past eras, farm pieces. Immersion in a disappearing domestic heritage. Warm welcome, friendly bargaining, unhurried vibe.
