28th Flea Market under the Plane Trees of Vigeois

The Flea Market under the Plane Trees: an institution of the Vigeois summer

For over a quarter of a century, the Flea Market under the Plane Trees has set the rhythm for early August in Vigeois. This event, which has become a true local institution, draws its charm from its exceptional setting: rue du Foirail and place du Champ de Foire, lined with centenary plane trees whose foliage offers welcome shade in the height of summer. The alignment of stalls under these majestic trees creates a unique atmosphere, popular with bargain hunters and strollers alike.

A quality flea market under the foliage

The Flea Market under the Plane Trees stands out for the diversity and quality of its exhibitors. Professional dealers rub shoulders with passionate individuals, offering regional furniture, earthenware and porcelain, folk art objects, old books, vinyl records, trade tools, toys, and curiosities of all kinds. The shaded setting encourages browsing and conversation, in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere typical of large outdoor flea markets.

Vigeois, a heritage gem for bargain hunting

Dominated by its 11th-century Benedictine abbey, a listed historic monument for its remarkable sculpted capitals, Vigeois is a town of character that is wonderfully suited for strolling. The medieval bridge spanning the Vézère, the old houses, and the steep streets of the center complete a first-class heritage setting. Bargain hunters can extend their visit with a walk along the river or a stop at the Terres de Corrèze tourist office.

Refreshments and light snacks

Throughout the day, a refreshment stand and a light snack stand allow visitors to quench their thirst and eat without leaving the shade of the plane trees. The careful organization of the event contributes to the enjoyment of this summer bargain hunting day.
