Brocante de la Trinité à Beaulieu-lès-Loches

A flea market in the streets of a medieval town

The Brocante de la Trinité takes over the picturesque streets of Beaulieu-lès-Loches every year on Trinity Sunday. Organized by the association Familles Rurales, it brings together about a hundred exhibitors offering a fine assortment of flea market items and second-hand goods: antique furniture, tableware, silverware, books, trinkets, tools, vintage clothing, linens, collectibles and curiosities. The medieval setting of the town adds undeniable charm to this day of treasure hunting.

Beaulieu-lès-Loches, Romanesque treasure of Touraine

Beaulieu-lès-Loches is a small town of character with about 1,800 inhabitants, adjacent to Loches. It owes its fame to its abbey of the Trinité, founded in 1007 by Foulques Nerra, Count of Anjou. The abbey's 60-meter-high Romanesque bell tower is one of the most remarkable in the Loire Valley. The medieval alleys, the half-timbered houses and the remains of the fortifications form an exceptional heritage ensemble.

Conviviality and entertainment

The flea market takes place all day with free admission. Refreshments and food are available on site. Entertainment accompanies this festive day in the heart of the Lochois heritage.
