Brocante and Fair of Montbron

Throughout 2025, the Brocante and Fair of Montbron enlivened the Place de l'Hôtel de Ville on the 1st of each month. Individual and professional flea market vendors mingled with traditional fairground traders – jewelers, clothing merchants, a knife sharpener, and sellers of live poultry during the summer season – to offer a varied and picturesque display.

Bargain hunters from northern Charente and the neighboring green Périgord took advantage of these mornings to find furniture, crockery, trinkets, and second-hand items at low prices. The free setup without reservation allowed many new exhibitors to join the regulars throughout the months. The coffee offered to vendors and the friendly atmosphere confirmed the success of this monthly event in the Bandiat valley.
