Garage Sale of Saint-Jacques-de-Thouars

The Saint-Jacques-de-Thouars Garage Sale: 120 Exhibitors in Thouarsais

Every first Sunday in June, Saint-Jacques-de-Thouars hosts its annual garage sale, bringing together around 120 exhibitors at the village hall and in adjacent streets. This event, organized by local volunteers, has become an eagerly awaited gathering for bargain hunters from northern Deux-Sèvres and southern Vienne.

A Varied Offering for All Tastes

With 120 stalls, the garage sale offers a diversity of products that satisfies all visitor profiles. Families come to find children's clothing, toys, and board games at low prices, while collectors scan the stalls for old books, vinyl records, ornaments, or vintage tools. Small furniture and crockery complete an eclectic offering typical of private garage sales.

A Village at the Gates of Thouars

Located a few kilometers from Thouars and its imposing castle of the Dukes of La Trémoïlle, Saint-Jacques-de-Thouars is a peaceful commune that retains the charm of the Thouarsais bocage villages. The church of Saint-Jacques and the surrounding green landscapes invite visitors to extend their visit beyond the garage sale.

Practical Tips

It is recommended to arrive early in the morning for the best selection among the 120 stalls. Bring change and a sturdy bag. Parking is available near the village hall. Free admission for all visitors.
