Brocante of the Melon and Duck Fair of Pouzay

An ancestral fair over 400 years old

The Melon and Duck Fair of Pouzay is one of the oldest fairs in Touraine, perpetuated for over four centuries. Every August 15th, the village transforms into a vast open-air market where flea market vendors, exhibitors, local producers, and fairground operators gather. The flea market plays an important role in this festive day, with numerous stalls offering antique furniture, tableware, trinkets, tools, books, clothing, toys, curiosities, and collectibles of all kinds.
