Easter Flea Market of Aubusson

The Easter Flea Market: the first gathering for bargain hunters in Aubusson

Every year in April, the Easter weekend marks the opening of the flea market season in Aubusson. The Esplanade Charles de Gaulle, nicknamed 'La Passerelle', hosts this first major flea market of the year in an exceptional setting by the Creuse River. Between 50 and 100 exhibitors, individuals and professionals, set up their stalls from the early morning hours to offer a wide range of second-hand items.

A heritage setting by the Creuse

The Esplanade Charles de Gaulle offers an idyllic location for this spring flea market. Situated along the Creuse River, this vast esplanade in the city center allows visitors to browse the stalls while enjoying the remarkable natural setting. Aubusson, world-renowned for its tapestry, inscribed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list since 2009, adds a unique cultural dimension to this popular event.

The Festival Committee, the historic organizer

The Aubusson Festival Committee organizes this Easter flea market, which is part of a rich calendar of events throughout the year. The association provides on-site refreshments and catering, allowing visitors to spend a full day of bargain hunting in a friendly atmosphere. Exhibitors, whether individuals looking to clear out their attics or flea market professionals, find a generous and well-arranged space on this esplanade.

Aubusson, capital of tapestry and land of flea markets

Aubusson is a city of art and history that captivates with its architectural heritage as much as its cultural dynamism. The International Tapestry City, inaugurated in 2016, traces six centuries of exceptional know-how. Visitors to the Easter flea market can extend their day by discovering the historic center, its half-timbered houses, and the banks of the Creuse, a true green setting in the heart of the Limousin region.
