The Brocante d'Aussonce: a May 1st event in the Porcien

Every year on May 1st, the village of Aussonce (08310) continues the tradition of flea markets and car boot sales on Labor Day. This village event brings together the residents of Aussonce and neighboring communities for a day of treasure hunting and conviviality in this rural town in the Porcien ardennais.

A flea market in the Porcien ardennais

The Porcien is a natural region of the Ardennes, located between the Aisne valley and the chalky Champagne region. Aussonce, situated in the canton of Rethel, is a typical agricultural town in this Ardennes bocage. The May 1st flea market here has the authentic character of village festivals, where neighbors and passers-by meet for a day to clear out their attics and find good deals.

Exhibitors set up in the streets and on the village square to offer furniture, tableware, old tools, books, clothing, and various objects. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, far from the large urban flea markets. It's an opportunity to discover the hidden treasures that Ardennes attics hold.
