Brocante du 14 Juillet de Rugles

Flea Market on July 14th in Rugles

In Rugles, the national holiday on July 14th is accompanied by a festive flea market that enlivens the town in the Pays d'Ouche. This summer event brings together individuals and flea market vendors in the streets of the commune for a day of friendly bargain hunting, in the spirit of the great French popular festivals of July 14th.

Flea Market and National Holiday in Pays d'Ouche

July 14th flea markets are a tradition in many Norman communes. They take advantage of the festive dimension of the national holiday to attract more people than ordinary events. In Rugles, the July 14th flea market benefits from the general animation of the town—parade, ball, fireworks depending on the year—to attract visitors who combine bargain hunting with republican celebration.

Treasures of the Norman Summer

July is a prosperous time for Norman flea markets. Residents returning from vacation or hosting family are often in a generous mood and clear out attics and cellars. At these summer flea markets, you can find beautiful pieces of Norman furniture left by recent inheritances, antique tableware, books, and toys, as well as gardening items, summer clothes, and decorative objects evoking past Norman summers.

Rugles, a Town to Visit in Summer

Rugles is a pleasant town to discover in the summer. Its Saint-Germain church, half-timbered houses, the Charentonne valley, and the forests of the Pays d'Ouche offer a green and relaxing setting. The July 14th flea market is a great opportunity to combine a cultural visit with bargain hunting in this town in the inner Eure, far from the hustle and bustle of the Norman seaside resorts.
