The brocante of Piégut-Pluviers: hunting for treasures in the land of the great market

Every summer in July, Piégut-Pluviers hosts a flea market and car boot sale near the old campsite and stadium. Professional and private exhibitors offer antique furniture, crockery, trinkets, clothing, tools, books, and various objects to bargain hunters from Périgord Vert and neighboring Limousin.

Piégut-Pluviers, village of the great Wednesday market

Piégut-Pluviers is a town in the Périgord Vert, located on the borders of Dordogne and Haute-Vienne. The village is world-renowned for its great Wednesday market, which brings together over 200 stalls in summer and attracts visitors from all over the region and beyond. Created in 1319 by royal charter, this centuries-old market is one of the oldest and most important in southwestern France.

Remarkable heritage

The town of Piégut-Pluviers is dominated by the remains of the Tour de Piégut, a 12th-century circular keep classified as a historic monument, which testifies to the strategic importance of this site in the Middle Ages. The village streets, lined with granite houses, retain the charm of a traditional market town in Périgord Vert. Piégut's location, on the edge of Périgord and Limousin, makes it a commercial and cultural crossroads between two regions.

A centuries-old market tradition

The brocante of Piégut-Pluviers is part of the village's long market tradition. Beyond the great weekly market, Piégut regularly hosts fairs, flea markets, and car boot sales that perpetuate the commercial vocation of this town. The Fête de la Musique is also an occasion for a special flea market, confirming the associative dynamism of this commune of 1,200 inhabitants.
