Nibas Flea Market

A flea market in the heart of the Vimeu

Nibas is a rural community of about 600 inhabitants located in the Vimeu, this southwestern part of the Somme formerly specialized in locksmithing and small hardware. The village organizes its annual flea market every year in the center of the village, investing the main streets to welcome exhibitors and bargain hunters. This event is part of the beautiful tradition of village flea markets that animate the department throughout the spring and summer.

What you can find

The stands offer the expected range of Picardy flea markets: old dishware, earthenware and porcelain, household linen, clothes, books and comics, vinyl records, old and new toys, small furniture, tools, various trinkets. In this Vimeu region, you can sometimes find objects related to the local industrial past — vintage hardware, locksmith tools, metal objects — that connoisseurs particularly appreciate. Lovers of rural bargain hunting will find their happiness in a relaxed atmosphere.

A preserved village at the foot of the coast

Nibas is located less than ten kilometers from the Picardy coast, halfway between Abbeville and Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. The village retains a strong rural identity, with its traditional brick and flint houses, its church and its peaceful streets. Bargain hunters who come to Nibas often take the opportunity to extend the day by discovering the neighboring Vimeu villages, or by reaching the nearby coast for a walk in the Bay of Somme or an afternoon in Cayeux-sur-Mer.

Between Vimeu and maritime Picardy

The geographical position of Nibas, between the industrious interior of the Vimeu and the maritime facade of Picardy, offers visitors a range of possible discoveries. The morning flea market can extend in the afternoon by a walk in the alleys of Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, a visit to the Marquenterre ornithological park, or a discovery of the old industrial sites of the Vimeu. A complete day mixing bargain hunting, nature and industrial heritage in the west of the Somme.
