Flea market Les Chineurs gourmands
Since its renovation in 1991, the barn of the Ferme castrale has experienced many events: antique shows, exhibitions, dance recitals, theatrical performances…
In early April 2011, the association La Rawète opened there a secondhand market of books and objects, with an impressive stock from donations that people make it to support its action.

The title of this flea market, Les Chineurs gourmands, is inspired by curiosity, the pleasure of discovery, the passion of lovers of antiques but also of the love, even the voracity, shown by reading lovers. And therefore
you, gourmet hunters for antiques,
