Vouzailles Antiques Fair

A Haut-Poitou village brocante

Vouzailles is a small commune of around 430 inhabitants in the Haut-Poitou, northern Vienne. Typical village of this agricultural region, organised around Saint-Maurice church, keeping a fine rural identity with pale-stone houses and cereal-plain landscapes. The October brocante is one of the events that animate this discreet town between Mirebeau and Loudun.

Agricultural and wine-growing Haut-Poitou

Deeply marked by agriculture and viticulture. Large cereal plains alongside AOP Haut-Poitou vineyards (known for quality whites and rosés), cattle and goat farms (famous chabichou), active farmsteads. This agricultural richness shows in regional brocantes — easy to find old farm tools, farm furniture, utensils linked to dairy processing or winemaking.
