Foire au troc et aux cochons 2026: Champigny’s medieval weekend on November 7 and 8

This year, it will take place on Saturday, November 7 and Sunday, November 8, 2026: the Champigny Barter and Pig Fair returns for another edition, with the great lineup it has become known for! It dates back to 1563, when King Charles IX granted the lord of Champigny the right to hold two fairs a year (according to the Champigny town hall website), with pig farmers particularly well represented at the time.
