Village festival of Louvilliers-les-Perche

The festival of the village of Louvilliers-les-Perche

Every end of August, the village of Louvilliers-les-Perche comes alive for its big annual festival, a festive and family event that brings together residents, visitors, and lovers of rural traditions. Organized by the town hall of Louvilliers-les-Perche, this unique day combines several emblematic activities of the Perche heritage: a flea market, an exhibition of old tractors, a mass in the local church, and a pétanque competition.

Louvilliers-les-Perche, a village in the Perche Regional Natural Park

Louvilliers-les-Perche is a commune in Eure-et-Loir, part of the Perche Regional Natural Park. This area of hedgerows, forests, and stud farms is one of the most authentic in the Centre-Val de Loire region. Nestled between Nogent-le-Rotrou and La Ferté-Bernard, the village benefits from an exceptional and preserved natural setting, where rural traditions are still vibrant. The annual festival perfectly embodies this spirit of Perche, attached to its roots and its heritage.

The "Vieux pistons" competition and the exhibition of old tractors

One of the unique features of the Louvilliers-les-Perche festival is its exhibition of old tractors, accompanied by the "Vieux pistons" competition. This gathering of vintage agricultural machinery testifies to Perche's attachment to its rural history and agricultural traditions. Enthusiasts of old mechanics and curious people of all ages come together to admire these machines that have shaped the region's agricultural landscape.

Flea market, mass, and pétanque: a full day

The day begins with a mass in the Notre-Dame church, a moment of reflection and community gathering that anchors the festival in village traditions. The outdoor flea market allows private sellers to offer their items at low prices, starting from €2 per linear meter. The pétanque competition adds a touch of sporting conviviality to the event. On-site catering allows everyone to extend the day in a festive atmosphere.
