Flea market "A day of treasure hunting" in one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France, on the banks of the Allier
The Flea Market of Apremont-sur-Allier, named "A day of treasure hunting", is much more than a simple car boot sale. This event takes place in an exceptional setting: the lawns by the Allier river, at the foot of the restored medieval houses covered with roses. About 60 exhibitors, professional antique dealers and individuals with beautiful collections, offer their finds on white-clothed tables, facing the river.
Apremont-sur-Allier is classified among the Most Beautiful Villages of France. This village in the Cher department, located on the banks of the Allier river, was entirely restored in the 1930s by Eugène de Chambrun. Its ochre stone houses with flat tile roofs, its remarkable floral park, and its bucolic setting make it one of the jewels of the Berry region. The flea market takes advantage of this picturesque decor to create a unique atmosphere, between art de vivre and quality treasure hunting.
The spirit of the Apremont flea market favors quality: antique toys, tableware, linens, furniture, books, paintings, and decorative objects make up the exhibitors' offerings. Treasure hunters appreciate this careful selection in a village where aesthetics is a tradition. Refreshments and food are available on site.
