Chambon-la-Forêt is a village intimately linked to the Orléans forest, in which it is enclosed to the northeast. This commune in the Loiret region, both forested and agricultural, hosts a flea market/car boot sale every June organized by its Festival Committee, opposite the Saint-Étienne Church, rue du Cardinal de la Luzerne. A popular event for second-hand enthusiasts in the area.

One hundred and forty-five exhibitors opposite the Church

With around 145 private exhibitors, the Chambon-la-Forêt flea market is a significant event for a forest commune. Setting up from 6 am on the grounds of the Saint-Étienne Church, exhibitors offer clothing, antique furniture, crockery, books, toys, and objects of all kinds. The list is long, and the diversity of items attracts bargain hunters from all over the north of the Loiret and the fringes of Beauce and Gâtinais.

A bucolic setting in the heart of the Orléans forest

What truly distinguishes the Chambon-la-Forêt flea market is its exceptional setting. Organized opposite the Saint-Étienne Church, in the village streets bathed by the filtered light of the nearby forest, it offers visitors a rare atmosphere of serenity and authenticity. The beeches and oaks of the Orléans forest form an incomparable natural backdrop for this day of treasure hunting.
