Monthly Flea Market at Jeanne d'Arc Chapel

The Monthly Flea Market at Jeanne d'Arc Chapel: Heritage Bargain Hunting in Thouars

Every first Saturday of the month, from February to November, the Jeanne d'Arc Chapel in Thouars hosts a monthly flea market that delights bargain hunters from the Thouarsais and beyond. This regular gathering, in an exceptional architectural setting, offers a varied selection of antique objects, bric-a-brac, and curiosities presented by loyal exhibitors.

An Exceptional Setting: The Jeanne d'Arc Chapel

The Jeanne d'Arc Chapel, located on rue du Jeu de Paume in the historic center of Thouars, is a heritage building now serving as a contemporary art center and exhibition space. Its stone architecture, generous volumes, and natural light make it an ideal venue for an indoor flea market.

An Intimate and Regular Flea Market

Unlike large annual car boot sales, the monthly flea market offers a more intimate and focused browsing experience. Regular exhibitors offer ornaments, antique furniture, dishes, porcelain, vinyl records, paintings, old books, light fixtures, and collectibles.

Thouars, City of Art and History

Thouars is a city of art and history in northern Deux-Sèvres, dominated by the majestic Château des Ducs de la Trémoïlle overlooking the Thouet river.
