May Flea Market in Cluis

The town of Cluis (36340) hosts its annual flea market every spring in its streets and squares. Exhibitors – dealers and individuals – offer furniture, tableware, trinkets, books, tools, toys, linens, and various second-hand items. The event brings together bargain hunters from Boischaut Sud and surrounding towns in a friendly, rural flea market atmosphere.

Cluis, Sentinel of Boischaut Sud

Cluis is a commune of about 1,000 inhabitants located between La Châtre and Neuvy-Saint-Sépulchre, in the heart of Boischaut Sud. The village is dominated by the imposing ruins of its castle, a medieval fortress that controlled the route between Berry and Marche. The keep and the remains of the ramparts stand on a rocky outcrop offering an extensive panorama of the surrounding countryside. The town retains an interesting church and old houses. The surrounding countryside, with its hedged meadows, hedges, and small ponds, embodies the Berrichon landscape that George Sand described in her novels.
