Verrue Flea Market
Back-to-school browsing in a Haut-Poitou village
About Verrue Flea Market
Verrue's flea market takes place in early September in this small Haut-Poitou village, in northern Vienne. Run by local volunteers, it welcomes private sellers and browsers for a friendly human-scale day. A chance to discover a rural, authentic territory near Mirebeau and the Loudunais.
A rural Haut-Poitou flea market
Verrue is a small commune of around 290 inhabitants in the Haut-Poitou, in northern Vienne, near the Deux-Sèvres and Indre-et-Loire borders. An agricultural village bordered by fields and woods, Verrue lives by the rhythm of seasons and community events. Its back-to-school flea market is one of the village's yearly rendezvous.
Agricultural Haut-Poitou
The Haut-Poitou is an agricultural area of vast cultivated plains (wheat, rapeseed, sunflower, maize), dotted with small woods and pale-stone villages. Also known for AOP Haut-Poitou vineyards, cattle and goat farms (famous chabichou cheese), and culinary traditions. Villages like Verrue keep strong rural identity with dynamic community groups.
