Brocante vide-greniers d'Écueillé

Hunt for treasures in the heart of a historic town

The Écueillé flea market and car boot sale enlivens the streets of this town of nearly 1,200 inhabitants nestled in northwestern Indre, on the border of Touraine. Exhibitors – both individuals and professionals – offer antique furniture, tableware, trinkets, toys, books, vintage clothing, tools, vinyl records, and various flea market items. The heritage setting of Écueillé, with its 12th-century Notre-Dame priory church and its famous Blanc-Argent station, a listed historic monument, adds a special charm to this day of treasure hunting.

Écueillé, Romanesque heritage and tourist train

Écueillé owes part of its fame to the Bas-Berry train, the metre-gauge Blanc-Argent line that historically connects the south of the department to the Loire Valley. Écueillé station, listed as a historic monument since 1993, is a rare example of metre-gauge railway architecture. The Notre-Dame church, a former Romanesque priory from the 12th century, modified in the 15th century, has been listed since 1987 and houses beautiful carved capitals. The town also retains a fabric of old houses and local shops that give it a lively and welcoming character.
