Grande Brocante de l'Été d'Aubusson

A flea market by the Creuse river

Every summer, the Esplanade Charles de Gaulle, nicknamed 'La Passerelle', hosts the Grande Brocante de l'Été d'Aubusson. This vast space by the Creuse river offers an idyllic setting for a day of outdoor treasure hunting, bringing together between 50 and 100 exhibitors in a relaxed atmosphere.

An event organized by the Comité des Fêtes

The Comité des Fêtes d'Aubusson organizes this event, which is part of the busy summer calendar in Aubusson. From 6:30 AM to 6 PM, exhibitors, individuals and professionals, offer a wide range of items: furniture, tableware, trinkets, books, vinyl records, toys, and various other items. Refreshments are available on-site to accompany visitors throughout this day of good deals.

Aubusson, world capital of tapestry

Aubusson is world-renowned for its tapestry, inscribed on UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage since 2009. The Cité internationale de la tapisserie, inaugurated in 2016, showcases six centuries of this exceptional art. The Grande Brocante de l'Été benefits from this cultural influence to attract bargain hunters from well beyond the borders of the Creuse region.

An animated summer in Aubusson

The summer flea market is part of a rich summer program in Aubusson, alongside the famous Grande Braderie on August 14th and weekly markets. Visitors can take advantage of their visit to discover the historic center of Aubusson, its half-timbered houses, and the banks of the Creuse, a true green oasis in the heart of the Limousin region.
