Vide-Greniers de l'Étang de Chaux à Peyrat-la-Nonière

Hunt for treasures with your feet in the grass by the pond

The Étang de Chaux, nestled in the Creuse countryside in Peyrat-la-Nonière, offers an exceptional bucolic setting for a car boot sale. Twice a summer, in July and August, between 50 and 100 exhibitors set up their stalls on the lawns bordering the water, offering bargain hunters a wide choice of second-hand items in a relaxed atmosphere.

The Étang de Chaux, a leisure site in Combraille creusoise

The Étang de Chaux is a popular leisure site for families in Combraille creusoise, between Évaux-les-Bains and Chambon-sur-Voueize. In addition to fishing, the site offers outdoor activities and entertainment throughout the summer. The car boot sale is one of the flagship events that punctuate the summer season, attracting local visitors and holidaymakers passing through this green region of southern Creuse.

Entertainment and Creusoise gastronomy

Beyond bargain hunting, the Vide-Greniers de l'Étang de Chaux are true popular festivals. Pony and carriage rides are offered free of charge to visitors. The catering highlights local specialties: fondue creusoise, grills and the essential roasted lamb, a specialty of the site available by reservation. It's a great way to spend a full day between bargain hunting and gastronomy by the water.
