Brocante Vide-Greniers Verdonnelle de Verdon

Brocante Vide-Greniers Verdonnelle – Verdon

The Brocante Vide-Greniers Verdonnelle of Verdon (51290) is the flagship annual event of this commune in the Der-Chantecoq region. The name Verdonnelle, an affectionate diminutive derived from Verdon, reflects the organizers' attachment to their village and the close-knit spirit that characterizes this popular event, every July.

Verdon is a village in the Der-Chantecoq region, in eastern Marne, near France's largest artificial lake. This humid bocage and meadow territory, with its characteristic timber-framed bell towers and half-timbered houses, offers a setting of great authenticity for a summer flea market. Summer visitors, attracted by the Der lake and its water activities, can make a detour to Verdon to enjoy the Verdonnelle.

In the squares and streets of Verdon, exhibitors at La Verdonnelle offer characteristic items from Champagne and Der attics: rustic furniture, crockery and pottery, antique linens, agricultural tools, books and magazines, trinkets and curiosities. The Der region, a quintessential rural area, holds objects of rare authenticity in its farms and houses, linked to the agricultural and artisanal life of wet Champagne.

In July, the Verdonnelle benefits from the height of summer to offer exhibitors and visitors ideal conditions: long days, pleasant temperatures, and a significant flow of tourists attracted by the Der water body and its activities. It is a moment of intense local life, where the village comes alive and opens up to the outside world.
