Vide-greniers du Pré des Moines — Goudet

The Vide-greniers of Pré des Moines in Goudet

Goudet is a small village in Haute-Loire, nestled in the natural cirque formed by the Loire at the foot of Beaufort Castle. This classified site, of striking beauty, hosts one of the department's most important vide-greniers every first Sunday of August. Pré des Moines, a vast meadow near the Loire, then transforms into a true open-air treasure market.

A Large-Scale Event

With up to 225 exhibitors recorded during the best editions, the Goudet vide-grenier far exceeds the scope of a simple village event. Individuals and professionals come from all over the department and neighboring regions to offer a wide range of goods: antique furniture, crockery, tools, books, clothes, toys, collector's items, and curiosities of all kinds.

Pré des Moines, an Exceptional Setting

The venue for the vide-grenier largely contributes to its attractiveness. Pré des Moines, on the banks of the Loire, offers breathtaking views of the ruins of the medieval Beaufort Castle and the basaltic cliffs that frame this natural cirque. The pure air of the Velay plateau, at over 900 meters altitude, makes strolling between the stands pleasant even in the middle of August.

Support from the Mézenc Loire Meygal Tourist Office

The Mézenc Loire Meygal Tourist Office supports the organization of this event, testifying to its importance in the tourist offer of this territory. The Goudet vide-grenier is thus promoted as an emblematic event of the destination, attracting both residents and tourists staying in this magnificent territory located at the borders of Haute-Loire, Ardèche, and Loire.
