Jumble Sale and Flea Market of Exoudun - June

The Exoudun Jumble Sale in June: Second Annual Bargain Hunting Event

Exoudun, a small village in the Mellois area between Melle and La Mothe-Saint-Héray, organizes its traditional jumble sale and flea market twice a year. The June edition, usually held on the first Sunday of the month at the football stadium, is the second major local bargain hunting event after the August 15 edition.

An Outdoor Flea Market at the Village Stadium

The Exoudun football stadium offers a spacious and green setting for the jumble sale. Private exhibitors display toys, clothing, dishes, books, ornaments, small furniture, and all sorts of objects. The atmosphere is that of an authentic and relaxed village market where bargaining is common.

The Mellois Area, Land of Flea Markets and Heritage

The Mellois area, in southern Deux-Sèvres, is rich in Romanesque heritage with its listed churches and charming small towns. Melle, the canton capital, houses the famous Frankish Kings' silver mines and three Romanesque churches on the UNESCO World Heritage Santiago de Compostela routes.

A Tradition Rooted in Local Life

The twice-yearly programming (June and August) reflects the attachment of residents to these moments of village conviviality.
