Brocante Bléré Judo

The Judo Flea Market in Parc de la Gatine

The Parc de la Gatine in Bléré offers an ideal green setting for a day of outdoor treasure hunting. Every spring, Bléré Val de Cher Judo takes over this vast tree-lined space on the banks of the Cher to organize its flea market and car boot sale. Private sellers offer clothes, toys, books, crockery, small furniture, and various items at attractive prices. Stall rental fees are affordable: 13 euros for 5 linear meters and 25 euros for 10 meters.

A Sporting and Solidarity Event

Bléré Val de Cher Judo is a dynamic club that trains many young judokas in the Cher valley. The organization of this flea market is one of the highlights of the club's associative life, helping to fund competition travel, equipment purchases, and training camps. Volunteers—parents, coaches, and young athletes—mobilize to welcome exhibitors and provide refreshments and food on-site.

Bléré, between the Cher and its châteaux

Located on the banks of the Cher, halfway between Tours and Amboise, Bléré is a lively small town in the community of communes Autour de Chenonceaux. Its proximity to the Château de Chenonceau, one of the jewels of the Loire Valley, makes it a prime stop for visitors. The weekly Tuesday market, the shops in the town center, and the AOC Touraine vineyards complete the local tourist offerings.
