Queaux Flea Market

Queaux, a Vienne valley village

A small commune of about 650 inhabitants in southern Vienne, between Lussac-les-Châteaux and L'Isle-Jourdain, by the Vienne river. The name, unusual at first, likely comes from Celtic or Gallo-Roman origin — one of the most original toponyms in the department. Flea market on Sunday 14 June 2026, fitting the southern-Vienne summer calendar.

This region, between Montmorillon country and the Vienne valley, is discreet heritage land: preserved villages, Romanesque churches, old mills, Vienne meanders and bluffs. A flea market at Queaux is a chance to discover this authentic southern Vienne.

What to find

• Villager family bric-à-brac
• Tableware, glass, small appliances
• Adults' and children's clothes
• Toys, games, books, comics
