16th Brocante de Coolus

The 16th Brocante de Coolus

The Brocante de Coolus reaches its 16th edition, demonstrating its solid place in the summer calendar for the Châlons-en-Champagne region. Organized every August by the association Coolus Animation, this event has become a must-attend for flea market enthusiasts in the Marne department (51510) who appreciate the Champagne countryside setting and the friendly atmosphere of a human-sized event.

Sixteen editions of this flea market mean sixteen years of volunteer commitment, encounters between bargain hunters and exhibitors, discoveries, and good deals in this village on the Champagne plain. The Coolus Animation association, which has supported the event since its inception, has built a solid reputation over the years and retained a regular audience that returns year after year.

Coolus Animation, driving village life

The association Coolus Animation is the driving force behind the cultural and festive life of Coolus. Its mission is to liven up the village and create opportunities for meeting and sharing for the residents of the commune and its surroundings. The annual August flea market is one of its flagship events, complemented throughout the year by other activities that contribute to the dynamism of this Champagne village.

The organization of the flea market mobilizes many volunteers: exhibitor registration and placement, signage, visitor reception, catering, communication. This collective mobilization is the mark of a vibrant and committed association, whose members share a love for their village and the desire to see it thrive.

August in Coolus: flea market under the Champagne sun

The choice of August for the Coolus flea market is particularly wise. It's the summer holiday period, attracting many visitors passing through the region, and a time when Marne residents have free time for leisure activities. The Brocante de Coolus thus fits into the region's summer programming as an alternative to the beach, offering a day of strolling and discovery in a rural setting.

Coolus (51510) is a village in the Châlons-en-Champagne-et-der community of communes, located on the Champagne plain a few kilometers from Châlons-en-Champagne. Its natural environment, characterized by large crops and proximity to the Marne river, makes it a pleasant setting for a summer day. During this annual event, vendors offer furniture, tableware, books, clothing, toys, and trinkets in a relaxed and festive atmosphere.
