Up until World War I , Bosset was known for its cattle market, which was held on the first Tuesday in February, March, April, May and September. All areas of the village were used for this purpose: the schoolyard for cattle of the Limousin and Blonde d'Aquitaine races , which came from the valleys of the Dronne and the Isle , the village square next to today's grocery store for sheep. Pigs were traded on the road towards Lunas, the other traders had their stalls along the cemetery.
