Résumé anglais The Market of the Biggest 'Bourg' in France: Nogent-le-Rotrou in Perche. This article on the weekly market held on Saturday mornings at Nogent-le-Rotrou aims to show the historical evolution of an agricultural market which, from being the scene of economic exchanges between producers (cereal market, cattle market, direct sale of agricultural products), has turned into a place where mass production and the excess of the local production (agriculture and crafts) converge. It is now a market of simple consumption whose role is to meet both the 'functional' needs of the local population and the entertainment needs of the numerous second-home owners established in the surrounding area. The market has thus survived but its function has been transformed.
