Brocante de La Gardie – Rousson

The Brocante de La Gardie in Rousson

Every year in March, the commune of Rousson hosts the Brocante de La Gardie, an event distinguished by its remarkable natural setting. Held on the Chemin de Panissière, near the Jardins Ethnobotaniques de La Gardie, this flea market benefits from a green and authentic environment in the hills of Gard Alésien.

The combination of a flea market and an exceptional natural and cultural site makes this event a unique experience. Visitors can browse the stalls while enjoying the beauty of the place, and perhaps combine their visit with an exploration of the ethnobotanical gardens that make the site famous.

The Jardins Ethnobotaniques de La Gardie

La Gardie is home to the Jardins Ethnobotaniques, a remarkable site dedicated to the study of the relationships between plants and humans across cultures and history. These gardens feature collections of medicinal, aromatic, dyeing, and food plants, placed within their ethnological and historical context.

The Domaine de La Gardie is also the seat of an Agricultural Civil Society, testifying to the agricultural and natural vocation of the place. This exceptional setting, between Mediterranean garrigue and Cévennes valleys, offers a prime backdrop for a spring flea market.

Rousson, between Alès and the Cévennes

Rousson is a commune in the Gard with about 2,000 inhabitants, located in the hills north of Alès, at the gateway to the Cévennes. Its territory covers varied landscapes, from garrigue to Cévennes woodlands, with preserved natural sites, of which La Gardie is one of the most emblematic.

The village shares the postal code 30340 with its neighboring communes Saint-Privat-des-Vieux and Salindres, forming a group of communes in the Alès basin with distinct but complementary identities. The associative and cultural life is dynamic, as evidenced by the organization of this spring flea market in such a remarkable setting.
