2nd Flea Market of Sainte-Livière

The 2nd Flea Market of Sainte-Livière

The Flea Market of Sainte-Livière (52290) is an event that has quickly established itself in the Lac du Der-Chantecoq area. Its 2nd edition, with its 60 exhibitors, confirms the success of an event that benefits from an exceptional geographical context: Sainte-Livière is one of the hamlets that make up the commune of Éclaron-Braucourt-Sainte-Livière, on the banks of the Der.

Sainte-Livière is one of those places that survived the creation of the Lac du Der-Chantecoq, inaugurated in 1974. During the construction of the lake, several villages were submerged, but Sainte-Livière was spared, finding itself on the edge of the new body of water. This painful past but also this resurrection give the place a special character, an identity forged in the upheavals of the 20th century.

The Sainte-Livière flea market takes advantage of the remarkable tourist situation of the area. In summer and on spring and autumn weekends, the Lac du Der attracts tens of thousands of visitors: hikers, cyclists, ornithologists attracted by the common cranes, boaters, and holidaymakers. This influx naturally benefits local events organized in the lakeside villages.

The 60 exhibitors offer a fine selection of second-hand items: furniture, crockery, books, clothes, toys, trinkets, and various curiosities. The atmosphere is particularly pleasant, between the softness of the lakeside setting and the typical conviviality of small village flea markets.
