Woignarue Firefighters' Brocante

The Woignarue Firefighters' Brocante: solidarity bargain hunting

Organizing a summer brocante to finance the activities of the association, buy equipment or support causes related to the profession is a deep-rooted tradition in French fire stations. The Woignarue one, held each mid-August on rue de la Mairie, fits into this beautiful habit.

A discreet village of the Picard Coast

Woignarue is one of those small villages that few tourists know. Located halfway between Cayeux-sur-Mer and Ault, the commune extends inland, a few kilometers from the coast, in a landscape of fields and small woods.

A human-scale brocante

With about thirty exhibitors, the Woignarue brocante belongs to the category of local events: you can go through all the stalls in an hour or two, you take the time to chat with the volunteer firefighters.

The role of volunteer firefighters

In rural territories like the Somme, rescue centers and their teams of volunteer firefighters play an essential role. The amicales raise funds through events like this brocante.
