Brocante Vide-Greniers des Boulevards de Blancs-Coteaux (Vertus)

Brocante Vide-Greniers des Boulevards – Blancs-Coteaux (Vertus)

The Brocante Vide-Greniers des Boulevards in Blancs-Coteaux (formerly Vertus, 51130) is a major event on the flea market calendar for the southern Marne region. With its 250 exhibitors, it is among the most important events in the area, attracting treasure hunters from all over Champagne and neighboring departments for this July 14th celebration.

The date of July 14th, the French national holiday, is particularly conducive to this type of event: summer weather is generally good, residents are on vacation or have time off, and the festive dynamic of the day creates a joyful and relaxed atmosphere around the stalls. The Vertus boulevards flea market has made July 14th its signature event, combining the republican holiday with the Champagne tradition of flea markets.

With 250 exhibitors, the market offers a particularly rich and varied selection on the boulevards of Vertus: antique and rustic furniture, porcelain and earthenware, Champagne crystalware, old books and comic books, vinyl records and cassettes, toys and dolls, tools and agricultural equipment, military objects, vintage clothing and accessories, silverware and trinkets. Professional dealers rub shoulders with individuals who take the opportunity to clear out their cellars and attics.

The boulevards of Vertus provide an ideal setting for such an event: their wide sidewalks and considerable length allow for numerous stalls to be set up with good visitor circulation. Vertus, a medieval town with a rich architectural heritage, also attracts visitors in its own right, who take advantage of the flea market to discover or rediscover the old town and its monuments.

Vertus, medieval city of the Côte des Blancs

Vertus (51130), now integrated into the new municipality of Blancs-Coteaux, is a medieval town with character, a former royal city that preserves an exceptional heritage. Its 12th-century Saint-Martin church, its medieval springs and ponds, its ancient streets and houses make it one of the most interesting towns in southern Champagne. Surrounded by the vineyards of the Côte des Blancs, it combines history and viticulture in a remarkable setting, an ideal location for a large flea market with 250 exhibitors on July 14th.
