Garage Sale of Amailloux

The Amailloux Garage Sale: Bargain Hunting in the Gâtine

Every September, the village of Amailloux hosts its garage sale on Rue des Écoles, an event that is part of the back-to-school tradition in northern Deux-Sèvres. This private sellers' garage sale, organized by commune volunteers, is an eagerly awaited moment for local bargain hunters who appreciate its relaxed atmosphere and rural setting.

Rue des Écoles: A Human-Scale Browsing Route

Rue des Écoles, the main street of Amailloux, transforms for a day into a treasure market. Stalls line the roadway, offering visitors a human-scale browsing route. The offering is typical of countryside garage sales: clothing, shoes, toys, board games, books, crockery, tools, ornaments, and decorative objects.

A Village in the Gâtine

Amailloux is a commune in the Gâtine parthenaisienne, the bocage plateau of northern Deux-Sèvres characterized by its hedgerows, meadows, and dispersed farmstead settlements. The village retains discreet rural heritage with its church and granite houses.
