Brocante and Fine Crafts of Crotelles

Flea Market and Fine Crafts Combined in Crotelles

The Crotelles flea market offers an original concept by combining a traditional flea market and a market of artisans and fine crafts. On one side, dealers and individuals offer furniture, trinkets, tableware, books, tools, and antique objects. On the other, fine craftspeople—potters, woodturners, jewelers, textile designers—present their original creations. This dual offering attracts a diverse and curious audience, in an atmosphere that is both commercial and cultural.

Crotelles, a Village on the Touraine Plateau

Crotelles is a commune of about 1,200 inhabitants located on the Touraine plateau, north of Tours, between Château-Renault and Vouvray. The village is surrounded by cereal fields and small woods, giving it a preserved rural character. The church, tuffeau farms, and sunken lanes form a discreet but authentic village heritage. The compact village center provides a suitable setting for outdoor events.

A Saturday in May Between Bargain Hunting and Creation

The flea market is held on a Saturday in May, offering visitors an alternative to the traditional Sunday flea markets. Admission is free, and refreshments are available on site.
