Garage sale, pétanque and music at the Navel of the World
Pougné-Hérisson, the self-proclaimed Navel of the World, organises a triple festive event each June combining a garage sale, pétanque tournament and music festival. Private and professional exhibitors set up in this unique village in Deux-Sèvres from 6am, at 2 euros per linear metre. The day continues with a pétanque competition and a free music evening, creating a unique moment of conviviality in a place steeped in legends and stories.
Every year in June, the village of Pougné-Hérisson transforms into a place of celebration and bargain hunting with its triple event combining a garage sale, pétanque competition and music festival. Organised by the Family's Show association, this exceptional day is one of the highlights of village life for this commune of 360 inhabitants that stands out for its unique cultural identity: it has proclaimed itself the Navel of the World.
The garage sale opens at 6am, allowing the earliest bargain hunters to find the best deals. Private and professional sellers offer bric-a-brac, toys, clothing, books, crockery and various objects at low prices. The exhibitor rate of 2 euros per linear metre makes the event accessible to all.
