Brocante d'Été Loches

Treasure Hunting in August in the Royal City of Loches

Every summer, the center of Loches hosts its summer flea market, transforming the medieval streets into a vast open-air flea market. Professionals and individuals set up their stalls between half-timbered houses and Renaissance facades, offering a varied selection of antiques, furniture, old tableware, books, vintage clothing, and all sorts of curiosities. The exceptional setting of the fortress and the Romanesque keep adds a unique dimension to this day of treasure hunting.

The Tourist Buzz Serves the Flea Market

August is the peak tourist season in Southern Touraine. The Brocante d'Été benefits from the influx of visitors coming to discover the Loches Fortress, the Royal Lodge, and the many castles in the region. French and international tourists mingle with local treasure hunters to create a cosmopolitan and joyful atmosphere. The terraces of the town center's cafes and restaurants are the ideal place to take a break between good deals.

The summer flea market is part of a dense cultural program: historical shows at the fortress, night markets, open-air concerts, and activities for children punctuate the summer in Loches. Lovers of the Touraine lifestyle will appreciate the wines of the Touraine AOC, the Touraine guinea fowl, and the aged goat cheeses that accompany a successful day of treasure hunting.
