Brocante de Chavroches: Treasure hunting in a village of character

Chavroches is one of the most picturesque villages in the Allier. Perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Besbre valley, this medieval village has retained remarkable architectural heritage: 12th-15th century castle, Romanesque church, half-timbered houses and narrow streets. The annual flea market takes advantage of this exceptional setting.

A preserved medieval site

The castle of Chavroches, with its towers and keep, overlooks the village and the Besbre valley below. The Romanesque church of Saint-Laurent, the old houses and the paved alleys form a coherent architectural ensemble, giving the flea market a unique atmosphere of treasure hunting in a period setting.

The Besbre Valley

The Besbre, a tributary of the Loire, flows at the foot of the village in a green valley. This river has long marked the border between Bourbonnais and Beaujolais. The landscape of wooded hillsides and meadows surrounding Chavroches provides a pleasant natural setting for flea market visitors.
