Nalliers Foyer Rural Flea Market (Fête de la Bouse)

The Nalliers Foyer rural flea market

In Nalliers, the Fête de la Bouse is THE event bringing the village and beyond together. Each year the Foyer rural runs a flea market on that occasion, drawing locals and visitors in a matchless festive vibe. 2026 edition expected in summer.

Private vendors mostly, usual mix of second-hand items. What makes it special is the setting: activities, traditional games, country meal, music and rural cheer.
