A car boot sale in the heart of Combraille creusoise

The Vide-Greniers de Lioux-les-Monges takes place every summer in the main street of this typical village in the Combraille region of Creuse. Organized by the Vivalioux association, a dynamic group of residents who liven up local life, this car boot sale attracts bargain hunters from the surrounding area in a rural and authentic setting. From 8 a.m., stalls are set up along the street, offering everyday items, crockery, books, toys, and trinkets from attics.

Lioux-les-Monges, a preserved village in Combraille

Located in the canton of Évaux-les-Bains, on the border of Creuse and Allier, Lioux-les-Monges is a small rural commune perched on the heights of the Combraille region. This land of hedgerows and forests, dotted with granite hamlets, retains a wild and preserved character. The village, which owes the second part of its name to the monks who founded a priory there, offers a peaceful setting conducive to strolling among the car boot sale stalls.
