Troc et Puces Brocante Collections of Loudéac

A major treasure hunting event in Central Brittany

Every year in November, the Calouet racecourse in Loudéac hosts the Troc et Puces Brocante Collections, an event that brings together 120 exhibitors in a spacious setting combining indoor and outdoor areas. The stalls offer a varied range of items: flea market finds, car boot sale items, bric-a-brac, and collectibles, attracting treasure hunters from all over Central Brittany.

Loudéac, a crossroads in Central Brittany

Loudéac, a town of about 10,000 inhabitants, is a major economic and commercial crossroads in Central Brittany, located halfway between Saint-Brieuc and Pontivy. Known for its Calouet racecourse, which hosts horse racing throughout the year, the town is also the seat of the largest canton in the Côtes-d'Armor. The Troc et Puces is part of the dynamic commercial tradition of this town, which hosts a large weekly market on Saturday mornings.

The Calouet racecourse, an ideal setting

The Calouet racecourse, located at the Pierre Étienne roundabout in the Terduez district, offers a remarkable space for this event. The covered halls allow exhibitors and visitors to enjoy the event regardless of the weather conditions, while the outdoor spaces add exhibition surface area. Exhibitors are welcomed from 5 am, with the possibility of setting up their stand the day before.

Collectors and treasure hunters at the rendezvous

Beyond the classic car boot sale, the collections aspect of this event attracts a discerning public of collectors looking for rare pieces and items with character. Postcards, stamps, old toys, vinyl records, and memorabilia are displayed alongside furniture, tableware, and clothing on the stalls of the 120 exhibitors. On-site catering allows for a pleasant extension of the day.
