Brocante Vide-Greniers of the Salbris-Dymchurch Twinning Committee

Flea Market of the Twinning Committee

The Salbris-Dymchurch Twinning Committee organizes an annual flea market and car boot sale every autumn at the Salle des Fêtes Georges Vilpoux in Salbris. This event, which brings together around 54 exhibitors, funds cultural exchange activities between the Sologne commune and the English town of Dymchurch, in Kent.

Indoor Treasure Hunting

The flea market takes place indoors, in the large function room on Rue des Cousseaux. This indoor format is particularly appreciated in autumn, allowing for comfortable treasure hunting regardless of the weather. Exhibitors offer furniture, crockery, trinkets, books, records, and various collectible items.

The Salbris-Dymchurch Twinning

The twinning between Salbris, the heart of Sologne, and Dymchurch, a charming coastal village in English Kent, is a tradition of cultural exchange that the twinning committee maintains through events like this. The proceeds from the flea market help fund trips and hospitality between the two communities.
