Brocante Vide-Grenier Comité des Fêtes d'Aubusson

A Summer Flea Market by the Creuse

Every summer in August, the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle, nicknamed 'La Passerelle', hosts the Brocante Vide-Grenier of the Comité des Fêtes d'Aubusson. This vast space on the banks of the Creuse river offers an idyllic setting for a day of outdoor treasure hunting, bringing together between 50 and 100 exhibitors in a relaxed summer atmosphere. From 6:30 AM to 6 PM, visitors stroll among the stalls in search of bargains.

An Event Rooted in Aubusson's Summer

The Comité des Fêtes d'Aubusson organizes this event, which is part of Aubusson's busy summer calendar, alongside the famous Grande Braderie on August 14th, created in 1978 by Jacques Dabin. From 6:30 AM to 6 PM, exhibitors, individuals and professionals, offer a wide range of items: furniture, tableware, trinkets, books, vinyl records, toys, and various other articles. Refreshments on site accompany visitors throughout this day of bargain hunting.

The Esplanade Charles de Gaulle, a Remarkable Site

The Esplanade Charles de Gaulle, commonly called 'La Passerelle', is a prime location for walks and gatherings in Aubusson. Bordered by the lively Creuse river, this esplanade offers a panoramic view of the old town's rooftops and the surrounding hills. Its size comfortably accommodates the dozens of exhibitors and the numerous visitors who flock there from the early morning hours.

Aubusson, City of Tapestry

Aubusson is world-renowned for its tapestry, inscribed on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage of humanity since 2009. The Cité internationale de la tapisserie, inaugurated in 2016, showcases six centuries of this exceptional art. Visitors to the flea market can extend their day by exploring the old town center, its half-timbered houses, and the banks of the Creuse, a true green oasis in the heart of the Limousin region.
