Ville-sur-Lumes: a residential Ardennes village

Ville-sur-Lumes is a commune that has seen significant residential development in the wake of the Charleville-Mézières agglomeration. Benefiting from a pleasant living environment, with natural spaces nearby and the proximity of the services of the big city, it attracts many families. The commune is particularly known for being the birthplace of the poet Arthur Rimbaud, who spent part of his childhood in this region. Charleville-Mézières, a few kilometers away, is indeed called "the city of Rimbaud".

An end-of-season flea market

The September flea market in Ville-sur-Lumes is an end-of-season event, when families return from vacation and take advantage of the last beautiful days to hunt for treasures outdoors. It brings together:

• Private exhibitors from Ville-sur-Lumes and neighboring communes
• Professional flea market dealers from the Charleville-Mézières area
• An eclectic offer: furniture, tableware, books, clothes, toys, second-hand appliances

The month of September often offers warm and sunny days in the Ardennes, with a special light that enhances the displayed objects. The atmosphere is relaxed, marked by the return of autumn activities after the summer rest.

Back-to-school flea market: giving objects a second life

The September flea market coincides with the back-to-school and professional return period, a time conducive to renewal and change. It is the ideal opportunity to declutter your home, renew your decor at a lower cost, or find second-hand clothes and school supplies. The Ville-sur-Lumes flea market meets this demand for responsible consumption and a circular economy.

A village in the Charleville region

Ville-sur-Lumes is part of the Pays de Charleville, this territory in the Meuse valley and its tributaries that constitutes the economic and cultural heart of the Ardennes. The associative dynamism of the commune reflects the vitality of these Ardennes peri-urban communes that know how to combine proximity to the city with rural quality of life.
