The 15th Vide-Greniers des Valvarniens de Chaumont

The Vide-Greniers des Valvarniens of Chaumont (52000) celebrates its 15th edition, marking fifteen years of activity in the prefecture of Haute-Marne. Organized in June with 70 exhibitors, this community event has established itself as one of the most popular neighborhood car boot sales in the city.

Chaumont is the prefecture of Haute-Marne, a medium-sized city perched on a limestone spur overlooking the confluence of the Suize and Marne rivers. A city of history and culture, it is particularly known for its railway viaduct, one of the most important in France, and for its International Poster Festival, which makes it a world capital of graphic design every summer. This cultural richness is reflected in the city's vibrant community life.

The name Valvarniens refers to the Val de Marne neighborhood of Chaumont, one of the city's residential areas. The Valvarniens association has been consistently enlivening this sector for fifteen years, notably through this annual car boot sale, which provides an opportunity for neighborhood residents to declutter their attics while fostering social connections.

With 70 exhibitors, the event is of a size that makes it lively and interesting for bargain hunters, without losing the neighborhood atmosphere that characterizes it. The items offered are varied: furniture, tableware, books, clothing, toys, trinkets, and anything else that Chaumont attics might hold. Holding the event in June, at the beginning of the summer season, is ideal: the weather is generally pleasant, and the days are long, allowing for a great day of treasure hunting.
