Annual Chauconin-Neufmontiers Garage Sale

The May 1st Garage Sale in Chauconin-Neufmontiers

Every year, on May 1st, Chauconin-Neufmontiers organizes its annual garage sale in the heart of the village, at Place de l'Église and de la Mairie. May 1st, a public holiday traditionally associated with popular events in France, is particularly suited to this type of event: available families, the arrival of spring, the desire to go out and enjoy the beautiful weather create ideal conditions for a great day of bargain hunting. The 2026 edition will therefore be held on Friday, May 1st, faithful to this tradition.

A Village Heart Transformed into a Market

Place de l'Église and Place de la Mairie form the historic heart of Chauconin-Neufmontiers. During the garage sale, this central space transforms into a vast open-air market where exhibitors deploy their stalls in the shade of the church and around the municipal building. This configuration gives the event a special charm, typical of French village garage sales, where local architecture serves as a backdrop to the stands.

A Varied Offer for All Budgets

The exhibitors, mainly private individuals from Chauconin-Neufmontiers and neighboring municipalities, offer the usual diversity of garage sales: clothing for the whole family, children's toys, books and comics, tableware and kitchen utensils, decorative trinkets, small appliances, tools, vinyl records and DVDs, sports equipment, bags and accessories, vintage toys, and all kinds of small curiosities. Prices remain very accessible.

The Friendly Atmosphere of Brie Garage Sales

The Chauconin-Neufmontiers garage sale retains the friendly and warm spirit of village events. Between neighbors who meet, families enjoying the day, and bargain hunters who come back year after year, the atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant.

A Municipality in the Meaux Agglomeration

Chauconin-Neufmontiers is a municipality of about 1,900 inhabitants located in the Meaux agglomeration, in the northwest of Seine-et-Marne. Its privileged location near the sub-prefecture allows visitors coming for the garage sale to extend their day with a visit to Meaux and its remarkable heritage: the Gothic cathedral, the episcopal palace, the Bossuet Museum, and of course the famous Great War Museum.
