Brocante des Jeunes Vignerons de Verzy

Brocante des Jeunes Vignerons in Verzy

The Brocante des Jeunes Vignerons de Verzy is a unique event in the Marne flea market scene: organized by the commune's Jeunes Vignerons (Young Winegrowers), it combines the Champagne tradition of viticulture with the popular conviviality of a car boot sale in an exceptional natural setting. Every May 1st, the village of Verzy (51380) comes alive to welcome exhibitors and visitors who come to hunt for treasures on the heights of the Montagne de Reims.

The Jeunes Vignerons de Verzy association, which brings together the village's new generation of winegrowers, organizes this event with the same care they give to their vines. The flea market takes place in the village streets and spaces, offering visitors the opportunity to hunt for treasures and discover one of the most beautiful wine-growing villages in Champagne. Exhibitors offer a varied selection: antique objects, countryside furniture, crockery, old agricultural and viticultural tools — a treasure in this village of winegrowers —, clothing, books, and various collectible items.

Conviviality is at the heart of the event: the Jeunes Vignerons are generous hosts, and it wouldn't be surprising if champagne tasting were part of the experience. The Faux de Verzy — these unique twisted and fantastical beech trees, classified as a biological reserve — are a few minutes' walk from the village and constitute a natural attraction that invites visitors to extend their stay on the Montagne de Reims.

Verzy, a village in the Montagne de Reims

Verzy (51380) is a wine-growing village in the Montagne de Reims, a wooded and wine-growing massif classified as a Regional Natural Park, which constitutes one of the great Champagne appellations. Its vines produce a renowned first-growth champagne, and its cellars and winegrowers' houses bear witness to a centuries-old wine tradition. The village is also known for its Faux de Verzy, naturally mutated twisted beech trees whose branches grow downwards, forming strange vegetal umbrellas. Verzy is located about twenty kilometers southeast of Reims.
