May Day flea market in the nature village of Ménigoute, biodiversity capital
The Ménigoute flea market takes place every May 1st in this emblematic village of the Gâtine, famous for its International Bird Film Festival. Private sellers offer clothing, toys, books, crockery and bric-a-brac on the square and in the village streets. A friendly spring gathering in a preserved setting, between Parthenay and Niort.
Ménigoute, a village of around 850 inhabitants nestled in the Gâtine parthenaisienne, is world-renowned for its International Bird Film Festival. But the village doesn't live by ornithology alone: every May 1st, a friendly flea market enlivens the village streets and offers bargain hunters a pleasant spring outing.
Ménigoute is a typical rural commune of the Gâtine, with its bocage landscapes, ponds, hedgerows and exceptional biodiversity. The village has a discreet charm with its granite houses, church and quiet lanes.
The flea market takes place outdoors in the village of Ménigoute. Free entry for visitors. Parking available in surrounding streets and village car parks.
