Le Bercail Mouchanais, a unifying association

The Bercail Mouchanais is the association that animates the life of Mouchan. Its evocative name — "bercail" meaning "gathering place" in Gascon — reflects the unifying purpose of this organization that brings residents together around common activities. The festival's car boot sale is one of its annual highlights, combining local entertainment with a spirit of Gascon conviviality.

Mouchan, a village of Romanesque art

Mouchan is a remarkable village in the Ténarèze region of Gers, primarily known for its 12th-century Romanesque priory, classified as a Historic Monument. This priory church, with its apse chapels and sculpted capitals, is one of the jewels of Romanesque art in Gers. The village also retains authentic Gascon rural heritage, with its stone houses and narrow streets that invite leisurely strolls.

Village festival and car boot sale

The Mouchan car boot sale is integrated into the village festivities, giving it a particularly joyful atmosphere. Flea market stalls mingle with local festival entertainment, creating a complete event where treasure hunting is combined with music, games, and Gascon gastronomy. This festival + flea market formula attracts a diverse audience, from families to seasoned treasure hunters.

In the heart of Ténarèze and Armagnac

Located in Ténarèze, one of the three terroirs of Armagnac, Mouchan is nestled in a landscape of vineyards and hills. The car boot sale is an opportunity to discover this wine region that produces some of the finest brandies in Gascony. Visitors can extend their day with a visit to the Romanesque priory and an Armagnac tasting at nearby estates.
