Brocante de Ciron

Spring flea market in Ciron

The village of Ciron (36300) hosts its annual flea market every spring. Exhibitors set up in the village streets to offer furniture, tableware, trinkets, books, tools, toys, clothing, and various other items. The atmosphere is that of an authentic country flea market, in a preserved medieval setting that appeals to treasure hunters and strollers alike.

Ciron, fortified village in the Creuse valley

Ciron is a commune of about 400 inhabitants located in the Creuse valley, southwest of Indre. The village is dominated by the impressive ruins of its castle, a 13th-century medieval fortress that once guarded a strategic crossing on the Creuse river. The ramparts, towers, and keep bear witness to the power of this stronghold, which played a role in the Hundred Years' War. The village also retains a Romanesque church and old houses that form a coherent architectural ensemble. The banks of the Creuse, shaded and peaceful, invite leisurely walks.

Treasure hunting at the foot of the castle

The Ciron flea market offers a unique setting, between the ruins of the medieval castle and the banks of the Creuse. Admission is free and the village atmosphere makes treasure hunting particularly enjoyable.
