Antiquities flea market of July 14th in La Châtre

The July 14th flea market, a summer tradition in La Châtre

On July 14th, the national holiday, La Châtre celebrates in its own way by organizing a grand flea market and antiques in its historic streets. Professional antique dealers and second-hand dealers rub shoulders with individuals to offer antique furniture, art objects, earthenware, silverware, paintings, rare books, quality trinkets and collector's items. The quality of the exhibitors makes it a popular event for antique lovers in the Centre-Val de Loire region.

National holiday and Berry heritage

July 14th in La Châtre is a full day of festivities. The flea market is part of a program that traditionally includes the parade, the popular ball and the fireworks over the Indre valley. The medieval alleys, the 15th-century keep, the old bridge and the hanging gardens offer a romantic setting for this day of bargain hunting and celebration. The shadow of George Sand, who loved village festivals, looms over this event.

Berry's treasures within reach

Berry is a land rich in furniture and artisanal heritage. La Borne pottery, walnut and cherry wood furniture, Aubusson tapestries (neighboring region), earthenware and everyday rural objects are all treasures that can be found at this July 14th flea market. The proximity of the Nohant estate also attracts bargain hunters in search of literary and romantic souvenirs.
