Braderie de Canisy

Braderie de Canisy

The Braderie de Canisy (50750) brings together over 200 exhibitors each year in this village of the Saint-Lô bocage. Located just a few kilometers from Saint-Lô, Canisy is a rural village that comes alive on the day of its annual street sale to welcome exhibitors and visitors in a festive and friendly atmosphere.

Over 200 exhibitors is a significant number for a rural commune, testifying to the vitality of this event and its drawing power beyond local borders. Village street sales usually bring together a majority of individuals clearing out their attics and storage rooms: furniture and antique objects, crockery, linens, clothes for the whole family, toys and games, garden and workshop tools, books, records, and all those everyday items that find buyers at affordable prices.

The Braderie de Canisy is also a moment of conviviality for the village and its inhabitants. Local associations participate in animating the day: catering, refreshments, various attractions. All this creates an atmosphere of a popular Norman festival that brings together young and old around the pleasure of bargain hunting and good deals.

Canisy benefits from a favorable geographical location, at the crossroads of the bocage roads of Saint-Lô. Its annual street sale takes advantage of this accessibility to attract visitors from Saint-Lô, Tessy-sur-Vire, Torigni-sur-Vire, and the surrounding communes. The ease of parking, typical of rural villages, is also a significant asset for this type of event.
