The Valençay antiques fair
The Valençay Antiques Fair brings together professional antique dealers and second-hand traders in the village hall, in the centre of the town. It opens both days, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Furniture from the 19th century and earlier sits alongside collectibles and curiosities, tableware, bronzes and sculptures, Oriental rugs, antique jewellery, paintings and engravings, rare books and philately.
The dealers talk with visitors, seasoned collectors or the simply curious, and advise buyers.
Parking in the town centre is free. You reach the town from Châteauroux (55 km) by the D956 and from Tours (80 km) by the D943.

A debate follows with farmers, local councillors and associations, and entry is free. The international documentary film festival, created in 2007, runs from October 15 to November 30.
