Browsing in the historic city of the military school
Every spring, Saint-Maixent-l'Ecole hosts its annual car boot sale in the town centre streets, offering visitors a pleasant browsing stroll in a remarkable historic setting.
This Deux-Sevres sub-prefecture owes its name to the abbey founded by Saint Maixent in the 5th century and the military infantry school housed in the monastic buildings since the 19th century. The town boasts rich architectural heritage: the Plantagenet Gothic abbey church, half-timbered houses, the banks of the Sevre Niortaise, and medieval fortification remnants.
The exclusively private seller format guarantees very accessible prices and a relaxed family atmosphere.
Visitors can discover the treasures of the Sevre valley: the Museum of Protestant Poitou, riverside walking trails, and charming surrounding villages.
