Brocante des Écoles de Cumières

The Cumières Schools Flea Market

The Cumières schools flea market is supported by the village's educational community — Gaston Poitevin school, students' parents, teachers — with the logistical support of the Cumières Town Hall (51480). An annual event in June, it has become a familiar gathering for the Cumariots and residents of the Marne valley, just before the end of the school year. The profits contribute to the funding of educational projects and school trips for the municipal schools.

A Family Flea Market by the Marne River

The flea market unfolds on Place Philippe Martin, by the water's edge, in a particularly pleasant setting during the warmer months. The offerings are largely family-oriented: children's clothing of all sizes, toys, books and games for youth, childcare items, school supplies, and creative leisure materials are found alongside furniture, crockery, trinkets, adult clothing, and the classic production of family garage sales. The natural rotation of student generations feeds the flea market's offerings from one year to the next.

Cumières, a Champagne Village by the Marne River

Cumières (51480) is a wine-growing village in the Marne, classified as a Champagne cru, nestled on the hillsides between Épernay and Dormans. Its setting — hillside vineyards, forests, the banks of the Marne — makes it a pleasant stop in the Champagne wine region. The schools' flea market is part of the village's associative and festive life, alongside the Apéro Cumariot, the late June Patron Saint's Festival, and events related to champagne and local gastronomy.
