25th Flea Market of Montmort-Lucy

25th Flea Market of Montmort-Lucy

The Festival Committee of Montmort-Lucy organizes the annual Flea Market of this commune in the Sézannais (51270) every year, which is in its remarkable 25th edition. Twenty-five years of continuity is proof of its deep roots in local life and the faithful support of the population: this flea market has become an institution in Montmort-Lucy, an event that residents and regular exhibitors mark on their calendars with renewed pleasure.

The Festival Committee is the pivotal association for festive life in Montmort-Lucy. Its volunteers work all year round to organize events that punctuate village life and maintain social connections between residents. The annual flea market is the highlight, the one that mobilizes the most energy and volunteers, but also the one that brings together the largest number of people from Montmort-Lucy and surrounding communes.

Montmort-Lucy is a village with remarkable architectural heritage, dominated by its medieval castle, a listed historic monument. This castle, whose history dates back to the Middle Ages, overlooks the village and the surrounding vineyards, offering a characteristic silhouette to the landscape of the Sézannais. The flea market is held in this historic and rural setting, which gives it a particularly picturesque atmosphere.

The exhibitors at the Montmort-Lucy Flea Market are mainly local and regional individuals, who bring their second-hand items for a day of festive sales. Professional flea market dealers also participate, bringing a selection of more sought-after items. Together, they form a panorama of second-hand goods that delights visitors: rural furniture, antique tableware, agricultural tools, clothing, books, toys, and trinkets are found alongside more unexpected objects.
