The Brocante of the Sporting Club des Islettes: treasure hunting in Argonne with music

Each year in May, the Sporting Club des Islettes organizes its flea market in the village. The event is distinguished by a concert at 1:30 PM which livens up the afternoon and attracts visitors from well beyond just treasure hunting. The morning is dedicated to discovering the stalls, before enjoying the music while continuing your search.

Les Islettes, village of earthenware in the Argonne forest

Les Islettes is a village steeped in history, famous for its earthenware factories active from the 18th to the 19th century. The productions of Les Islettes earthenware, with their characteristic floral and patriotic decorations, are highly sought after by collectors today. The village also housed glassworks that exploited the forest resources of Argonne. This industrial and artisanal past gives the flea market a particular interest for lovers of antique objects.

The Argonne forest, an exceptional natural setting

Nestled in the Biesme valley, in the heart of the Argonne forest, Les Islettes benefits from a remarkable natural environment. This forest massif, which extends from the Meuse to the Ardennes via the Marne, offers a green and rejuvenating setting. The flea market is an opportunity to discover this village and extend the visit with a walk in the forest.
