The Grande Brocante d'Août de Figeac: The Major Rendezvous for Quercy Treasure Hunters

Every third Sunday in August, Figeac experiences one of its most important commercial events of the year. The Grande Brocante d'Août, organized by the Association des Brocanteurs du Figeacois, is the main gathering for collectors and antique enthusiasts in the Lot region. With 50 to 100 professional dealers setting up in the medieval heart of the town, it is the largest event of its kind in the Figeacois area.

A Spectacular Display in the Heart of Figeac

The Grande Brocante d'Août takes over the most emblematic spaces of Figeac's historic center on a grand scale.
