The Alluyes Flea Market: at the heart of the Corps-Saints Patronal Festival

Every spring, the village of Alluyes (28800) comes alive for its annual flea market. Organized by the festival committee as part of the Corps-Saints patronal festival, this event brings together private exhibitors and professional antique dealers for a great day of treasure hunting from 7 am to 6 pm. Alluyes, a village in Dunois east of Chartres, offers a rural and historic setting appreciated by treasure hunters from all over the region.

Alluyes, a village steeped in history in Dunois

Alluyes is a village in the Loir valley, in the Dunois region, a land of hedgerows, rivers, and manors that extends south and east of Châteaudun. The village has remarkable heritage: its Romanesque church, the remains of its medieval castle, and its old stone houses bear witness to a long history. The Corps-Saints patronal festival, which provides the setting for the flea market, perpetuates a religious and popular tradition rooted in the village calendar for generations.

What you will find at the flea market

The Alluyes flea market brings together in one space private exhibitors wishing to clear out their attics and professional antique dealers offering furniture, earthenware, trinkets, antique linens, and collector's items. This mix guarantees both the diversity of the stalls and the quality of some of the offerings. Clothing, toys, tableware, tools, books, and furniture make up the bulk of the goods on offer, but rare items discovered in the farms and manors of Dunois can sometimes be found.

The Corps-Saints Patronal Festival

The flea market is part of the program for the Corps-Saints patronal festival, which features various activities in the village. This festive tradition, both religious and popular, unites the inhabitants of Alluyes and attracts visitors from neighboring towns. The atmosphere of the patronal festival gives the flea market a special conviviality, with food and drink areas allowing families to spend the whole day on site.
