5th Collective House Clearance – Rue de la Liberté, Chennevières-sur-Marne

The Collective House Clearance: when a whole street becomes a flea market

In Chennevières-sur-Marne, an original neighbourhood tradition keeps the spirit of old-fashioned street markets alive: each spring, the residents of Rue de la Liberté collectively open their doors and stalls for a large-scale house clearance. Known as the Collective House Clearance of Rue de la Liberté, this singular event reaches its 5th edition in 2026.

The collective house clearance differs from a classic garage sale through its strong geographical identity: an entire street transforms into an open-air market. Residents display their items in front of their homes or in their gardens, creating an informal, itinerant brocante trail that visitors can explore freely over the two-day weekend. The atmosphere is particularly convivial, as each stall is run by neighbours who know one another and bring this community event to life together.
