Brocante des Amis de la Pêche, Cramant

Brocante des Amis de la Pêche in Cramant

The Amis de la Pêche de Cramant association organizes its annual flea market every July in Cramant (51530), a wine village in the Côte des Blancs classified as a Grand Cru for Champagne. This summer event is one of the highlights of Cramant's festive calendar, where village life comes alive around this popular treasure hunting day.

The Amis de la Pêche association is a local fishing club that manages fishing rights on the waterways around Cramant, organizes fishing competitions, and trains young people in recreational fishing. Like many rural sports associations, it uses the organization of festive events like the flea market to fund its activities, acquire equipment, and maintain the fishing sites under its care.

The July flea market is a wise choice for this type of event: in the heart of summer, the weather is usually good, there are many tourists passing through the Champagne region, and locals take advantage of the long summer days to go out and enjoy local events. The grape harvest has not yet begun, and the atmosphere is relaxed and festive.

The exhibitors at the Brocante des Amis de la Pêche are a mix of local individuals and professional dealers. The items offered cover the usual range of a general flea market, with a naturally rustic touch: you can find old and collectible fishing equipment, country items, rural furniture, tableware, books and magazines on nature, as well as all the usual second-hand items found at village flea markets.
