Brocante of August 15th in Éguzon-Chantôme

Hunt for treasures by the largest lake in Centre-Val de Loire

On August 15th, Assumption Day, the village of Éguzon-Chantôme (36270) hosts its annual flea market. Exhibitors take over the town's streets to offer antique furniture, trinkets, tableware, books, decorative items, tools, and various curiosities. The event benefits from the summer tourist influx in this commune known for its 312-hectare lake, the largest body of water in Centre-Val de Loire, and its hydroelectric dam inaugurated in 1926.

Éguzon, between the lake, the dam, and the Creuse gorges

Éguzon-Chantôme is a commune of about 1,400 inhabitants, a "Station Verte" nestled in the Creuse Valley, on the border of Berry and Limousin. Its dam, built between 1922 and 1926, was the largest in Europe at the time (61 meters high). The resulting lake stretches for 17 kilometers and offers developed beaches, sailing, canoeing, and water skiing. The Creuse gorges downstream, painted by the Impressionists, complete an exceptional natural panorama. Hunting for treasures in Éguzon means combining the passion for antique objects with the discovery of a remarkable natural site.
