Foire brocante de Valençay

Grand summer flea market in the shade of the Talleyrand castle

Every summer, the town center of Valençay (36600) hosts its grand flea market from 8 am to 5:30 pm. Exhibitors take over the streets and squares of the town to offer antique furniture, trinkets, tableware, books, collector's items, lighting, frames, and a thousand curiosities to discover. The event attracts treasure hunters from all over the department and beyond, seduced by the unique combination of a generous flea market and an exceptional heritage setting dominated by the Château de Valençay.

Valençay, Renaissance jewel of Berry

Valençay is a small town of about 2,500 inhabitants, famous for its Renaissance castle acquired in 1803 by Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand on Napoleon's orders. This listed monument, with its tuffeau facades and pepper-pot domes, houses a museum and sumptuous French gardens. The town is also known for its AOP goat cheese, the Valençay, shaped like a truncated pyramid. Treasure hunting at the foot of this castle means combining the art of finding treasures with the discovery of a major historical heritage site in the Loire Valley.
