Château d'Escurays Autumn Brocante

Château d'Escurays autumn brocante

Château d'Escurays, a private estate in Angles-sur-l'Anglin (86260), is a remarkable Vienne heritage site. Each autumn, Renaissance du patrimoine de l'Escurays runs a brocante in the castle park, listed on Points de Chine. This type of brocante in an old estate park offers a unique setting very different from village-square markets.

The organising association works on restoring and promoting the castle heritage. Brocante proceeds fund this mission, giving the event festive + heritage dimension.
