Brocante de Blérancourt

The Brocante de Blérancourt: bargain hunting in the shadow of the castle

Every last weekend of October, Blérancourt hosts its annual flea market in the commune's village hall. Organized by Blérancourt Tourisme, this event brings together professional and private exhibitors for one or two days of indoor bargain hunting.

Blérancourt, a key site of Franco-American friendship

Blérancourt is a commune steeped in history, world-renowned for its castle which houses the National Museum of Franco-American Cooperation. This museum, managed by the National Museums, traces the links between France and the United States through the centuries. It was in Blérancourt that the American philanthropist Anne Morgan set up her headquarters during World War I to help populations affected by the front lines.

A heritage setting for bargain hunters

The town of Blérancourt offers a pleasant setting for bargain hunters, with its old streets, gardens, and remarkable architectural heritage. The proximity of the museum and the forest of Coucy attracts cultural visitors who complement their visit with a trip to the flea market. The local, very active, tourist office contributes to the animation of this commune which focuses on memory tourism and heritage.
