On Thursday and Sunday mornings, the Neuville market is one of the most famous and popular in the Vienne region. On the Place de la Mairie and in the Halles (inaugurated in 2015), traders set up their stalls at dawn. Around 8am, the little town comes alive. Some of the stalls have become veritable institutions: come and discover Mélanie and Alexandre's vegetables and fruit, Sandrine's fish or taste the rillettes from the Dupont charcuterie!

An institution! Since the 12th century, this village has seen calves and other livestock converge on the market place every Tuesday. During the Middle Ages, there were up to 10 annual fairs, making Lezay a real hub for the market of large farm animals! Today, the fair is a weekly market. It is the^first market for goats and kids, the^second for calves and the^third for all species. You will also find local products!

Every Saturday morning, traffic is diverted to accommodate the various vendors. The atmosphere is relaxed, with smiling people. Everyone takes the time to chat around the stalls or enjoy a drink on the terrace. Several farms come to sell their fruit and vegetables. There are also cheese and poultry producers... Others offer honey, beer, wine, charcuterie, flowers, coffee, tea, ready-made meals, olives, oils, fish... The stalls are colorful, the products good - enough to concoct a delicious meal!

One of the most easterly communes in the département, it's best known for its fair. Every 29th of the month since 1484, it's a not-to-be-missed event! On these days, the commune of 300 inhabitants welcomes no less than... 450 vendors and exhibitors! In the aisles of the various sectors of activity (brocante, wine, poultry, trees, food...), it's a mad rush. Don't miss: the famous calf's head! And in the Marché au Cadran, breeders (cattle and sheep) and buyers meet. This anonymous auction has plenty of rhythm. Worth seeing.

A huge livestock yard where buyers, boxes in hand, discreetly snatch up broutards, bullocks, beef cattle and other sheep, all from local farms (85% of specimens are sold). Open to the public and immersed in a joyous hubbub. In 2011, the auction saved the Parthenay market, once the largest in France. The principle: to raise prices rather than lower them. And don't forget to visit Le Pelican restaurant, a convivial buffet where you can enjoy top-quality meat products.

Every Thursday from June to September, the Place de la République plays host to the summer markets. In front of the stalls, everyone salivates.
