Brocante des Jeunes de la MJC de Saint-Germain-des-Fosses

MJC Flea Market of Saint-Germain-des-Fosses

Saint-Germain-des-Fosses is a commune in the Vichy urban area, located north of Vichy on the road to Varennes-sur-Allier. The town is inseparable from its railway history: its marshalling yard, created in the 19th century at the crossroads of the Paris-Clermont and Lyon-Bordeaux lines, made Saint-Germain a major railway hub in central France.

A Railway Heritage

The Saint-Germain-des-Fosses marshalling yard employed up to several hundred railway workers, making the commune a true railway town. Although activity has considerably decreased, the legacy of this era is still visible in the town's urban planning and identity. Lovers of railway objects may find their happiness on the stalls of the flea market.

The MJC, a player in local life

The Maison des Jeunes et de la Culture of Saint-Germain-des-Fosses is an important player in local associative life. The annual flea market, held in the Place de la Libération, contributes to the financing of cultural and leisure activities offered to young people and residents of the commune.
