Coussay Vide-Grenier

A Pays Loudunais village vide-grenier

Coussay: small northern-Vienne village in the heart of Pays Loudunais, rural commune of about 200 inhabitants a few km from Mirebeau and Loudun. Annual vide-grenier: Saturday 6 June 2026, expected by locals and northern-Vienne collectors. Typical small-village event where community life endures through committed volunteers.

Modest village size gives an authentic feel: no crowds, no bustle, but the calm of a country day. Sellers are mostly locals and nearby village residents (Monts-sur-Guesnes, Saint-Clair, Doussay, Savigny-sous-Faye), plus a few passing dealers.

What to find

• Attic bric-à-brac: china, linen, decor
• Clothes, toys, baby items
• Books, comics, vinyl
• Agricultural and garden tools
• Small furniture, rustic trinkets
• Rural everyday objects

Coussay, discreet village

Historic Haut-Poitou village whose fortified château is known for hosting young Richelieu (before his political career). 16th-century private property, not open to visitors but its silhouette adds village charm. Parish church and fine old houses round out local heritage.

Part of Pays Loudunais, rural northern-Vienne territory on Anjou and Touraine borders. Little touristic but rich in discreet heritage worth detouring for.

A rural exploration day

Coussay vide-grenier is a chance to explore this unsung Pays Loudunais: Monts-sur-Guesnes castle (15th c.), Loudun with square tower and Sainte-Croix collegiate, Mirebeau medieval heritage. A bit further: Haut-Poitou vineyards and Neuville-de-Poitou cellars for day-ending tasting.
