Brocante de Cormicy

La Brocante de Cormicy

The Brocante de Cormicy is organized by the Comité des Fêtes of the commune, in Cormicy (51220). Held in October, this autumn flea market is one of the last outdoor festive events before winter in this Champenois region. It brings together dealers and individuals in an authentic setting for a day of treasure hunting in autumn colors.

The Comité des Fêtes of Cormicy organizes this event with the aim of offering a quality gathering for the inhabitants of the commune and its surroundings. The flea market may sometimes be postponed due to exceptional circumstances, but in any case, the association strives to maintain the event and inform potential exhibitors and visitors of any changes to the program.

An autumn flea market with unique charm

The October flea market has its own charms: the fresh and invigorating air of the Champenois autumn, the colors of the season that serve as a backdrop to the event, and the proximity of the end-of-year holidays which encourages visitors and exhibitors to gather for one last major outdoor event before winter. Flea market enthusiasts appreciate this particular atmosphere, more intimate than the large summer fairs, conducive to discoveries and exchanges.

The goods offered in Cormicy reflect the diversity of Champenois attics: furniture, dishes, tools, books, clothing, toys, and objects of all kinds. The presence of professional dealers alongside individuals clearing out their belongings ensures a varied offering accessible to all budgets.

Cormicy, between Reims and Laon

Cormicy (51220) is a Champenois village located between Reims and Laon, north of the Marne, in the Miette valley and near the Vesle. This historic village—it houses vestiges of World War I battles—benefits from a geographical location at the crossroads of roads connecting Reims to Laon and Berry-au-Bac. The flea market takes advantage of this accessibility to attract visitors from both departments.

The Cormicy flea market is part of the Champenois tradition of second-hand markets that liven up villages throughout the year. In October, it marks the end of the outdoor festive season and allows for one last gathering around a popular event before the rigors of winter.
