Grande Brocante et Vide-Grenier de Livernon

The great flea market of Livernon, summer event of the Causse de Gramat

Livernon (46320) is a village in the Causse de Gramat, in the Lot, near Figeac and the Saint-Céré region. This typical limestone plateau of Quercy, dotted with dolmens, natural ponds (the "lavognes") and abandoned sheepfolds, offers a unique natural setting. Every summer, the large flea market and car boot sale of Livernon brings together exhibitors and visitors for a great day of treasure hunting, organized by the association Lo Peyro Lebado.

A shaded area conducive to strolling

The large flea market of Livernon is held in the park of the village hall, a fully shaded area adjacent to the village's multi-purpose hall. This green and cool setting is particularly pleasant in the middle of summer, when the causse heats up under the sun. Exhibitors – private and professional – set up their stalls in the shade of the trees, offering their goods on carefully prepared displays. You can find antique furniture, country tableware, books, tools, clothes, toys, and all sorts of small flea market items.

Lo Peyro Lebado and the Figeac-Livernon ULM club

The association Lo Peyro Lebado (whose name means "the standing stone" in Occitan, referring to the megaliths of the causse) is the historic organizer of the Livernon flea market. Furthermore, the Figeac-Livernon ULM club, which uses the local airfield, also organizes car boot sales in the village, a sign of an active associative fabric. The village of Livernon is thus one of those small villages in the Lot that maintain a remarkable cultural and associative life despite a modest population.

The Causse de Gramat, a unique landscape

The Causse de Gramat is one of the four great causses of Quercy. A seemingly arid limestone plateau, it reveals a wild and preserved nature to the attentive walker: pubescent oaks, boxwood, junipers, wild orchids, and especially the lavognes – these circular ponds waterproofed by shepherds to water their flocks. The dolmens of the causse bear witness to ancient prehistoric occupation. A territory to be discovered on foot or by bike after the flea market.
