Flea market at the Foot of the Abbey of Pouilly-sous-Charlieu

Hunt at the foot of a centuries-old abbey

The flea market at the Foot of the Abbey is a unique event in the Loire flea market scene. It is held in the sumptuous setting of the abbey's open-air theater, near Pouilly-sous-Charlieu. This exceptional historical setting gives the event a special atmosphere, much appreciated by discerning bargain hunters.

A solidarity event

The organization is managed by the association Les Amis de l'Abbaye, which dedicates the profits to the restoration and enhancement of the abbey heritage. Hunting here also means contributing to the preservation of a gem of Brionnais Romanesque heritage.

The Romanesque heritage of Brionnais

The region of Charlieu and Pouilly-sous-Charlieu is world-renowned for the richness of its Romanesque heritage. The Benedictine abbey of Charlieu, with its exceptional Romanesque sculptures, and the Cistercian abbey of La Bénisson-Dieu form a remarkable heritage ensemble. The flea market is part of this tradition of promoting local heritage.
