Fête au Village de Chailles - Flea Market

The Fête au Village de Chailles

Every year in May, the municipality of Chailles organizes its village festival, a festive event that combines a flea market, car boot sale, and activities for the whole family. The event takes place on the Esplanade Chavil, near the kindergarten.

Flea Market and Activities

Exhibitors—individuals and professionals—set up for free on the esplanade to offer their items: bric-a-brac, clothes, toys, tableware, and trinkets. Rides for children and street entertainment complete the program.

A Moment of Village conviviality

Chailles is a residential town located 5 km south of Blois, on the banks of the Cosson. The village festival is a cherished moment of sharing for the inhabitants, who gather to stroll among the stalls and enjoy the refreshment stand and on-site catering.

The Esplanade Chavil, Heart of the Festival

The Esplanade Chavil, located on Rue des Poussetières near the kindergarten, transforms for a day into a true festival venue. Flea market and car boot sale stalls occupy the central space, while fairground rides and street entertainment unfold around them. The shaded green space is pleasant and allows families to spend the whole day in good conditions.

A Residential Village at the Gates of Blois

Chailles is a residential town of nearly 2,000 inhabitants, located just 5 km south of Blois. Crossed by the Cosson, a tributary of the Beuvron, the village benefits from a green and peaceful setting. The village festival is one of the highlights of communal life, allowing residents to come together in a festive and friendly spirit. Newcomers find it an ideal opportunity to integrate into the community.

Entertainment and Catering

The village festival is not limited to the flea market: street entertainment—musicians, jugglers, or children's shows depending on the edition—punctuate the day. Fairground rides delight the youngest. The refreshment stand and catering stall offer grills, crepes, and drinks. Admission is free, as are the pitches for exhibitors, making this event an accessible family outing for all budgets.
