Brocante Fête à la Rhubarbe of Vrigne-aux-Bois

The Brocante Fête à la Rhubarbe: A Pentecost Gathering

Every Pentecost Monday, the streets of Vrigne-aux-Bois (08330) come alive to host the Brocante Fête à la Rhubarbe. Organized by the association Bosseval Animation, this popular event takes place in the streets of Bosseval-et-Briancourt as well as on the Place de la République. Between 50 and 100 exhibitors - individuals and professionals - offer antiques, old objects, furniture, linens, books, vinyl records, and curiosities of all kinds.

Rhubarb in the Spotlight

The flea market is part of the Fête à la Rhubarbe (Rhubarb Festival), which celebrates this emblematic fruit-vegetable of Ardennes gardens. Rhubarb, widely cultivated in the Ardennes, is honored through activities, tastings, and local culinary preparations. This original blend of a flea market and a gourmet festival gives the event a unique character in the festive landscape of the Ardennes.

Organization and Schedule

The event runs from 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM for visitors. Exhibitors set up from 6:30 AM to confirm their spot. No prior reservation is required: village residents can set up in front of their homes, while other exhibitors are assigned a spot upon arrival. Entry is completely free for visitors. Refreshments and food are available on site.
