Brocante de Boisset

The Brocante de Boisset: over 40 years of tradition in Cantal

For over forty years, the small village of Boisset, nestled in the Châtaigneraie cantalienne, has hosted one of the oldest and most popular flea markets in the department each spring. This event, organized with passion by the Boisset Tourist Office, has built a loyal following of bargain hunters from all over Cantal and neighboring departments.

Sixty exhibitors in the heart of the village

On the day of the flea market, the entire commune transforms into a vast market of antique objects. Around Place Angèle Fel, about sixty professional exhibitors display their treasures: antique furniture, collectibles, trinkets, tableware, old tools, books, and many other curiosities. The exhibitors, set up from 5:30 am, welcome visitors from 7 am to 6 pm in a warm and festive atmosphere.

Activities and conviviality

Beyond the bargain hunting, the Brocante de Boisset offers activities that delight young and old alike. A miniature fire truck exhibition attracts collectors and the curious. The grand raffle, with prizes from the exhibitors, adds a playful touch to the day. The catered food, provided by the Auberge Occitane de Saint-Mamet, allows visitors to enjoy local specialties on site.
