La Trimouille Antiques Fair
Summer antiques fair at the heart of Montmorillonnais
About La Trimouille Brocante
La Trimouille's antiques fair takes place in early August in this Montmorillonnais market town. A long-awaited rendezvous for bargain-hunters and curious visitors, drawing professional and private sellers to this traditional canton town in southeast Vienne. A great chance to enjoy the village-brocante atmosphere near the Brenne Regional Natural Park.
A traditional Montmorillonnais antiques fair
La Trimouille is a small town of around 1,000 inhabitants in southeast Vienne, in the Montmorillon canton. A historic cantonal centre with active community life, it hosts each early August a brocante that draws fans of antiques and browsing from Poitou and neighbouring departments.
Rural and heritage setting
Nestled between the Benaize and Gartempe valleys, La Trimouille has the typical backcountry Poitou feel: pale-stone houses, winding lanes, the Romanesque-origin Saint-Léger church, preserved forests and farmland. The fair unfolds across the main square and adjoining streets.
What to find
- Rural antique furniture: wardrobes, dressers, tables, chests
- Period crockery, porcelain, crystal
- Old tools and farm objects
- Books, postcards, old papers
- Knick-knacks, paintings, frames, mirrors
- Small brocante: jewellery, watches, lighting
- Old toys and curiosities
At the crossroads of several territories
La Trimouille sits at the junction of Montmorillonnais (north), Brenne (east, Indre) and Haute-Vienne (south). Its cultural richness and rural heritage are notable. Nearby: Saint-Savin-sur-Gartempe (UNESCO Romanesque frescoes, 35 km), Angles-sur-l'Anglin (Most Beautiful Village), Lac de Chardes.
Brocante spirit
Unlike a private-sellers flea market, La Trimouille's fair often mixes private sellers and professional brocanteurs. Expect unexpected attic finds alongside more curated pieces, especially antique furniture, tableware and decoration. Atmosphere remains relaxed.
