Saint-Gervais-les-Trois-Clochers Flea Market

Saint-Gervais-les-Trois-Clochers: a unique toponym

About 800 inhabitants in northern Vienne, between Loudun and Châtellerault. The rare, evocative name comes from having historically had three religious buildings: the parish church Saint-Gervais (still active) plus two others gone or transformed. One of the most picturesque commune names in Vienne. Flea market on Saturday 20 June 2026, a typical Loudun-country summer event.

On the D347 between Loudun and Châtellerault — good access, appealing stopover.
