Garage sales and flea markets

Whatever their given name, these events are regularly organized from April to October, most often on the weekends, in order to benefit from a greater affluence. For the individual sellers, it is a question of getting rid of objects that they no longer use, for the professionals, to offer these most beautiful pieces or to try to find the rare piece. For both to get a good deal, or at the very least to be able to look around, search about, and possibly be amazed.

La Gacilly 

Nestled on the banks of the River Aff, La Gacilly is now known for its international photo festival which transforms the village every year from June to September into an immense gallery of photographic art. But for the last 35 years, it has also been a place of art and crafts. In the village's flowery streets, you can weet master glassmakers, wood carvers or jewelry designers. An association brings together no fewer than thirty artisans with sometimes its share of unusual crafts (the art of making weathervanes or  art knives).

The beauty of the stone buildings have since attracted there other artists who ended up settling down there.
