Bourse aux Fèves de Verdun

The Bourse aux Fèves de Verdun: a meeting place for fabophiles

The association Les Potos d'Abord is organizing the 2nd Bourse aux Fèves in Verdun, a unique event in the Meuse region dedicated to enthusiasts of King Cakes' charms. Fabophiles, these charm collectors, gather at 73 rue de Blamont in Verdun to exhibit, exchange, and sell their precious porcelain, metal, or resin miniatures.

Fabophily, a collector's passion

Fabophily is the art of collecting the charms found in King Cakes. This passion brings together thousands of collectors in France, each seeking rare series, handmade charms, or antique pieces. The Bourse aux Fèves de Verdun offers a privileged setting for exchanges between enthusiasts, with the opportunity to discover hard-to-find items and meet other collectors from the entire Grand Est region.

Verdun, a city of history and memory

A sub-prefecture of the Meuse department, Verdun is world-renowned for the terrible battle of 1916. But the city offers much more than its military history: its Notre-Dame cathedral, its episcopal palace, its famous dragées, and the banks of the Meuse make it a tourist destination in its own right. The Bourse aux Fèves contributes to the cultural vibrancy of this historically rich city.
