Bournand Saint-Clair Flea Market

Saint-Clair Bournand flea market

Bournand is a rural Loudunais village in northern Vienne (86120), near Loudun, Saumur and the Maine-et-Loire border. ~500 inhabitants, authentic rural character with church, stone houses, active associations. Each spring, the Saint-Clair Committee (association for the Saint-Clair hamlet) runs its annual flea market. 2025: Sunday 20 April, announced on villagebournand.fr.
