Brocante des Écoles de Cumières

La Brocante des Écoles de Cumières

The Brocante des Écoles de Cumières is organized every June by the Mairie de Cumières (Town Hall of Cumières) (51480). This end-of-school-year event is an opportunity for the educational community — teachers, parents, and students — to come together for a festive and supportive event, the proceeds of which help fund the projects and activities of the commune's schools.

The Mairie de Cumières, by directly involving itself in the organization of the flea market, demonstrates its support for the local public school and its commitment to creating unifying events for the village community. June is an ideal month for this type of event: the school year is drawing to a close, the days are long and sunny, and the general atmosphere is one of lightness and celebration.

A Family-Friendly and Festive Flea Market

The Cumières school flea market is, above all, a family event. Parents of students gather to clear out their closets and part with clothes and toys their children have outgrown, while other families come to find items to equip their own children at a lower cost. The natural rotation of student generations fuels the flea market's offerings, which thus provide a wide range of children's items: clothes of all sizes, toys, children's books, educational games, sports equipment, and craft supplies.

But the Cumières school flea market is not limited to children's items. You can also find furniture, tableware, books for adults, clothing and fashion accessories, and the usual bric-a-brac found at second-hand markets. The diversity of offerings reflects that of the village community, which brings its own treasures to share.

Cumières, a Champagne Village on the Banks of the Marne

Cumières (51480) is a charming wine-growing village in the Marne region, located on the slopes of the Marne Valley, between Épernay and Dormans. Classified among the Champagne crus, the village produces grapes that are used in the composition of great Champagne blends. Its remarkable natural setting — hillside vineyards, forests, the banks of the Marne — makes it a particularly attractive village.

The school flea market is part of the festive life of this beautiful village, alongside other events related to Champagne and local gastronomy. It contributes to the animation of the commune and the maintenance of the social fabric by creating opportunities for residents to meet and interact.
