KIRKY Posted 14 March , 2006 Share Posted 14 March , 2006 Hi, I will be on the Somme from Thursday until Monday. Are there any markets over this time on The Somme? Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papineau Posted 14 March , 2006 Share Posted 14 March , 2006 It is a little early for brocantes. There are some, but none that I know of in the Somme area this weekend. Trying typing 'brocante+somme' into Google.fr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Poilu Posted 14 March , 2006 Share Posted 14 March , 2006 Hi Tony, No fairs in the Somme area this weekend. If you want a drive there are some in other regions on Sunday: Lecluse (Nord), Forbach (Moselle) and Gretz Armainvillier (Seine-et-Marne). The others are even further, sorry, not much help really! As you probably know there are always a few boot fairs on. I always ask Dominique for these - he has a little book... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelab Posted 25 March , 2006 Share Posted 25 March , 2006 Here's a handy website for brocante faires and "vide greniers" (car-boot sales) in France http://vide-greniers.org/ It's rather a confusing layout, and all in French (sometimes misspelt, just to make it harder!). However, if you spool down to the heading "selectionnez un departement" (choose a county) and you can select "Somme 80", "Nord 59" or "Pas de Calais 62" from the alphabetically-ordered drop-down menu. This takes you to another page where you have to choose a span of dates "Choisissez une periode". The next page looks pretty much the same, but if you spool down it you will find the list of fairs there for the area you have chosen. They have a green blob for flea markets/car boots; red square for brocante or antiques; and orange triangle for collectors' fairs - which can mean arms fairs, if that is of interest. (but might equally well mean stamp-collecting, lapel-pin collecting etc...) If you click on the name of the event, you can often see directions to the venue, opening hours, how many stalls there'll be, Angela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
