Ailly-sur-Noye Plan d'eau Réderie

A flea market by the water

Big Somme réderies usually take over village streets or town squares. The Ailly-sur-Noye event has chosen a different, particularly pleasant setting: the town's lake, a popular leisure spot in the Santerre amiénois. On Sunday 3 May 2026, exhibitors set up on the lawns bordering the water, turning bargain hunting into a Sunday stroll.

A community-run event

The event is run by the Buvette du plan d'eau, a local association that manages the site's refreshment kiosk. Exhibitor registration goes through buvetteduplandeau.e-monsite.com. This grassroots organisation ensures a friendly atmosphere free of commercial pressure. The proceeds from stalls and refreshments go to the site's upkeep and events.

A varied bric-à-brac

Sellers, mostly locals from Ailly and nearby villages (Berny-sur-Noye, Chaussoy-Epagny, Cottenchy, Rouvrel), offer the classic réderie mix: clothes, toys, books, records, tableware, small furniture, trinkets, tools, baby equipment, decorative items. A few semi-professional dealers round out with collectibles and restored furniture.

Ailly-sur-Noye, Santerre amiénois town

Ailly-sur-Noye is a lively town 20 km south of Amiens in the Noye valley. A canton seat, it has schools, secondary schools, shops, a library and a railway station on the Amiens-Compiègne line. Its lake is popular for summer swimming, fishing and family walks. The town is also known for its castle and historic heritage.

An ideal Sunday outing

The lakeside réderie formula is perfect for family outings. Kids run on the lawns, play near the water under supervision, while parents browse at their own pace. The buvette offers drinks, sandwiches, chips and hot meals, with tables for lunch. The train station allows car-free arrival from Amiens.
