Brocante Mensuelle de Brive-la-Gaillarde

The Monthly Flea Market of Brive: a Bargain Hunter's Rendezvous under the Brassens Hall

Every first Sunday of the month, the Halle Georges Brassens in Brive-la-Gaillarde hosts its monthly flea market, a flagship event of Brive's commercial life. Located on the Quai Tourny, a stone's throw from the historic center, this covered hall offers a setting protected from bad weather, ideal for bargain hunting in all seasons. Professionals and amateurs meet there from 8 am to 5 pm to offer and find furniture, decorative objects, old books, comics, and rarities.

A Remarkable Heritage Setting

The Halle Georges Brassens, named after the famous singer-songwriter, is one of the emblematic covered spaces in Brive-la-Gaillarde. Its metal structure offers a vast, bright volume conducive to showcasing the exhibited objects. The adjacent Place du 14-Juillet completes the space with free parking, facilitating access for visitors from all over the Brive Basin, the Dordogne Valley, and the Limousin region.

Furniture, Objects, and Rarities

Exhibitors, mostly professionals in flea markets and antiques, offer a wide range of merchandise: regional walnut or oak furniture, old tableware, silverware, trade tools, rare books, collectible comics, trinkets, lighting, and curiosities. The monthly regularity of this event allows for constant renewal of stalls and finds, encouraging bargain hunters to return month after month.

Brive-la-Gaillarde, Capital of Bas-Limousin

Visitors can extend their bargain hunting with a stroll through the narrow streets of old Brive or a gourmet stop in one of the downtown restaurants.
