Montfort-sur-Risle Books, Vinyls and Art Market

The Books, Vinyls and Art Market, Montfort-sur-Risle's cultural event

In June, Montfort-sur-Risle hosts its specialized cultural market dedicated to books, vinyls, and art. This original event, which distinguishes itself from classic car boot sales, brings together booksellers, record collectors, and local artists for a day focused on culture and creativity.

Books: from Norman literature to contemporary thrillers

The market's booksellers offer an eclectic selection of books: regional Norman literature and works on the history of the Eure department, classic and contemporary novels, illustrated and art books, comic books from all eras, nature and hiking guides, and old magazines and periodicals. Bibliophiles will also find carefully selected first editions and old books.

Vinyls: from pop to jazz, including Norman rock

Record collectors will offer 33rpm and 45rpm vinyls covering all musical genres: rock, jazz, French popular music, Norman chanson, classical, folk, and world music. Lovers of analog sound will find their happiness among the carefully selected records, from rarities to essential classics.

Art: local creations and original works

The artistic section of the market features local and regional artists who exhibit and sell their creations: paintings of Norman landscapes, watercolors of the Risle and its surroundings, artistic photographs, sculptures, ceramics, handmade jewelry, and decorative objects. This creative aspect anchors the market in the tradition of village festivals that celebrate local talent.

A bucolic setting by the Risle river

The market is held outdoors in the town of Montfort-sur-Risle, by the river. The shade of the trees lining the Risle creates a cool and pleasant atmosphere, conducive to strolling and cultural discoveries in this preserved Norman village.
