Brocante des Amis de l'Église Saint-Hubert

Brocante des Amis de l'Église Saint-Hubert in Mancy

The Brocante des Amis de l'Église Saint-Hubert in Mancy (51530) is an annual event organized every July by the association of friends and volunteers who ensure the preservation and animation of the Saint-Hubert church, a religious heritage site in the village. The flea market is both a commercial event and an act of popular patronage: every euro earned helps to finance the maintenance and restoration of this historic religious building.

The Saint-Hubert church of Mancy, like many rural religious buildings in the Marne region, is a precious witness to local history and the architectural heritage of Champagne. Its upkeep requires resources that municipal budgets and public grants do not always fully cover. Associations for the safeguarding of religious heritage therefore play an essential role in preserving this network of rural buildings that make up the cultural richness of deep France.

The July flea market attracts collectors as well as summer strollers looking for bargains. On the stalls set up around the church or in the village of Mancy, exhibitors offer a fine selection of flea market items: antique furniture and furnishings, tableware and table arts, books and prints, antique trinkets and religious objects, retro toys and games, vintage clothing, and all sorts of rustic treasures. The presence of religious objects — pious images, statuettes, crosses, religious items — gives the Mancy flea market a special, subtle tone, in keeping with its heritage mission.

Mancy is a village in the Champagne vineyards, in the commune of Moussy, a few kilometers from Épernay. Its setting of vineyards and hillsides, the summer warmth of July, and the peaceful atmosphere around the church make it an exceptional setting for a memorable flea market day.
