Mouterre-sur-Blourde Flea Market, Gourmet and Craft Market

A triple event in an authentic village

Mouterre-sur-Blourde is a small commune of about 300 inhabitants in south-east Vienne, in Gençay canton, at the boundary of Montmorillon country and Civraisien. The village committee, associative lung of the village, runs on Sunday 5 July 2026 a triple event combining three formats in one day: flea market, gourmet market and craft market.

A smart "all in one" formula for a small village: broadens offer, attracts various publics (hunters, foodies, craft lovers), while staying manageable for the committee. Testifies to the richness of rural Vienne village events.

What to find

• Flea market: villager family bric-à-brac, clothes, toys, tableware, rural items
• Gourmet market: terroir (cheeses, charcuterie, jams, honey, wines, artisan breads)
• Craft market: local artisans (potters, jewellers, woodworkers, leather, glass)
• Tasting and demo stands
• On-site catering (terroir dishes, grills, desserts)
• Friendly refreshment stand

Mouterre-sur-Blourde and the Blourde valley

The Blourde, giving its name, is a small tributary descending to the Vienne. Typical southern Vienne landscape: farming, small woods, meadows, some ponds. Romanesque church, discreet heritage preserved by tranquillity. Exactly the kind of human-scale village this site values.

A committed village committee

In a 300-person village, running a triple event demands real volunteer mobilisation. The Mouterre-sur-Blourde committee perfectly illustrates French rural community tradition: a few passionate people give their time to animate the village. Attending means recognising and supporting this work.
