A spring flea market

8 May is commonly flea-market day across France: public holiday, spring mood, usually mild weather, post-winter restlessness. Chabournay fits the tradition. Mostly private sellers, with a few dealers. Crowd chiefly local — neighbouring Haut-Poitou villages.

• Small furniture, décor
• Comics, books, records

Chabournay, between plains and vines

Around 1,000 inhabitants. Part of the Haut-Poitou AOC wine territory and the typical Neuvillois cereal plains. Listed Romanesque church of Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais, a fine example of Poitou Romanesque. Small streams, wooded borders, varied rural landscape.

Local life

Benefits from Poitiers and Neuville-de-Poitou proximity. Active associations, including a festival committee, keep a regular event calendar. The flea market is a highlight.
