Pop'n'Geek of Conches-en-Ouche

Pop'n'Geek in Conches-en-Ouche: Records and Retro Gaming in Normandy

Conches-en-Ouche hosts its annual Pop'n'Geek event every March, a must-attend for enthusiasts of vinyl records, retro gaming, and geek culture in the Pays d'Ouche region. This unique event, rare in rural Normandy, attracts collectors and fans from across the Eure department and beyond.

Vinyl Records, Cassettes, and Music Culture

The Pop'n'Geek of Conches-en-Ouche is primarily a large vinyl record fair. Exhibitors offer records from all eras and genres: rock, pop, jazz, soul, electronic, classical music, rarities, and hard-to-find pressings. But Pop'n'Geek isn't just about records: cassette tapes, vintage CDs, turntables, and second-hand hi-fi equipment complete the musical offerings for music lovers of all kinds.

Retro Gaming and Pop Culture

The retro gaming aspect of Pop'n'Geek makes it doubly attractive. Video games from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s (cartridges, PC games, portable consoles), original controllers, rare cartridges, and vintage accessories vie for collectors' attention. Figurines, manga, comics, goodies, and pop culture items round out the offerings for an event that covers the entire universe of geeks and collectors.

Conches-en-Ouche, City of Stained Glass

Conches-en-Ouche is a medieval town in the Pays d'Ouche region of Eure, famous for its Renaissance stained glass windows in the Sainte-Foy church, considered among the most beautiful in Normandy. Nestled in the green valley of the Rouloir river, the town offers a setting of great beauty with its castle, ancient streets, and terraced gardens. Visiting Pop'n'Geek is also an opportunity to discover this exceptional heritage.
