Les Puces des Cours - COS de Cusset

Les Puces des Cours de Cusset

Cusset has a remarkable medieval historic center, with its inner courtyards, vaulted passageways, half-timbered houses, and remnants of its ramparts. Les Puces des Cours utilizes this architectural heritage by setting up flea market stalls in these picturesque spaces, offering treasure hunters a discovery route between heritage and flea market finds.

The inner courtyards of Cusset

Cusset's medieval architecture is distinguished by its numerous inner courtyards, accessible through vaulted passageways from the main streets. These spaces, once places of life and work for artisans, are now open to the public during Les Puces des Cours, revealing a hidden heritage that is often little known. Hunting for treasures in these courtyards, between stone walls and spiral staircases, is a unique experience.

Cusset, former capital of Bourbonnais

For several centuries, Cusset was the seat of the ducal court of Bourbon, playing a major judicial and administrative role in the history of Bourbonnais. The "tour prisonnière" (prisoner's tower), the preserved ramparts, and the old houses bear witness to this historical importance, making Cusset a prime heritage setting for a flea market event.
