The Goat Fair of Céré-la-Ronde
The 59th Goat Fair takes place on Sunday, October 25, the last Sunday of the month, in the village centre of Céré-la-Ronde. The village, in the Lochois area, sits between the châteaux of Montpoupon and Montrésor, in a landscape of hedgerows and woods.
On the last Sunday of October for close to sixty years, the fair has honoured goat farming, which is widespread in the south of Touraine.
The flea market and the car boot sale take up a large share of it. Sellers lay out old furniture, crockery, trinkets, books, tools, toys, clothes, farm objects and old linen, on stalls that run past the tuffeau farmhouses and the village church.
An autumn market brings local produce, with a tasting of Touraine goat cheeses. Rural entertainment mingles with the stalls.
A few kilometres away, the château de Montpoupon, a medieval fortress, houses a hunting museum.
From boulevard Béranger to place Billard

The Tours city hall organises it under the plane trees, a few steps from the law courts. Old furniture, works of art, paintings, lamps and antique toys sit side by side.

The public is let in from 7:30 am to 6:30 pm, and books, vinyl records, comic books, collectible toys and ceramics fill the stalls, among small vintage furniture and jewellery, under the Association des Brocanteurs de la Place Billard, founded in January 2014, which runs this event on the second and fourth Sunday of the month. Entry is free.
North-east of Orléans, the Traînou flea market runs every Sunday morning: 60 to 100 stallholders, private sellers and professionals, on a dedicated field in the village, with old furniture, crockery and curiosities.
