The Pig and Barter Fair is Champigny’s historic trade fair held every second weekend of November (dates: Nov 8–9, 2025) 1. Originating in the 16th century (1563), it traditionally featured pig farmers and exchange of goods; today it includes a medieval village re-enactment, a funfair, a large street market, and children’s farm petting zoo 1.
Granted rights by King Charles IX to hold two fairs a year in 1563 1, Champigny’s market tradition persists as a local cultural event. The fair reflects the town’s heritage in agriculture and craftsmanship, celebrating communal trade and rural legacy on the eve of winter.
