Brocante Vide-Greniers de Martigné-Ferchaud

A flea market in the heart of a small town of character

Martigné-Ferchaud (35640), labeled Petite Cité de Caractère, hosts its flea market and car boot sale every late May. Exhibitors take over the streets of the town center, at the foot of the Saint-Martin church and along the Forge pond. You can find clothing, tableware, tools, books, trinkets, antique furniture, collectibles, and various curiosities. The heritage setting — half-timbered houses, granite, and slate — gives this flea market a particularly charming atmosphere.

Martigné-Ferchaud, on the borders of three regions

Located in the extreme southeast of Ille-et-Vilaine, on the border of Loire-Atlantique, Maine-et-Loire, and Mayenne, Martigné-Ferchaud is a village of 2,700 inhabitants nestled in a hedged landscape dotted with ponds and forests. The commune is known for its Forge pond, an old iron forge that gave the village its name, and for its hiking trails. The flea market attracts visitors from four departments.
