Summer Flea Market at the Preuilly Water Body

Every summer, the Preuilly-sur-Claise water body hosts the annual flea market organized by the Comité des Fêtes. This green and shaded site, developed along the Claise river, offers an ideal setting for a summer treasure hunt. Exhibitors - professional flea marketers and private individuals - offer furniture, tableware, trinkets, books, clothing, tools, and collectibles in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Preuilly-sur-Claise, an Unsung Gem of Southern Touraine

Preuilly-sur-Claise is a small town of character in the south of Indre-et-Loire, once famous for being the smallest sub-prefecture in France. Its heritage is remarkable: the Benedictine abbey founded in the 11th century, the castle, the Renaissance townhouses, the medieval streets, and the banks of the Claise form a remarkably coherent architectural ensemble. The town is also known for its tradition of fairs and markets dating back to the Middle Ages.

The Claise Valley, a Land of Discovery

The Claise Valley is a territory preserved from mass tourism, offering rolling landscapes of meadows, woods, and vineyards. Its proximity to Grand-Pressigny and its Museum of Prehistory, to La Celle-Guénand and its Museum of Tools, and to the picturesque villages of the valley makes it a prime destination for heritage and nature lovers. The Preuilly flea market is an opportunity to discover this little-known corner of Touraine.
