Brocantes de Plivot – Ping and Aerodrome

Brocantes de Plivot – The Ping Flea Market and the Aerodrome Flea Market

Plivot (51150) is a village in the Marne region that has the unique characteristic of hosting not one, but two annual flea markets, organized by local associations with different focuses: the Ping Flea Market in spring, and the Aerodrome Flea Market in autumn.

The Ping Flea Market – PPCEP

The Ping Flea Market is organized by the PPCEP (Plivot Ping Pong Club and Equipment of Plivot, or similar association), every May. This spring flea market, named after the table tennis sports association that organizes it, perfectly illustrates how sports clubs use popular events as a source of funding and community engagement. The profits from the flea market help the association finance its activities and equipment.

In May, the Ping Flea Market sets up at its usual location to welcome exhibitors and visitors: furniture, crockery, toys, books, knick-knacks, and various objects make up the offerings of this spring flea market, organized in good spirits by the club members.

The Aerodrome Flea Market – Ailes Sparnaciennes

The Aerodrome Flea Market is organized by the Ailes Sparnaciennes, the aviation club of the Épernay-Plivot aerodrome, every September. This flea market, held on or near the aerodrome, benefits from an original and unusual setting: the aeronautical site, with its hangars, runways, and unique atmosphere, offers exhibitors and visitors a different experience from classic village flea markets.

The Ailes Sparnaciennes, an aero club based at the Épernay-Plivot aerodrome, use this September flea market to fund their aviation activities and promote their club to the general public. Owners of vintage aircraft or ultralights may occasionally participate in the event, adding an aeronautical touch to the classic flea market. The stalls offer a general range of items: furniture, crockery, knick-knacks, clothing, tools, and various curiosities.

Plivot and the Épernay Aerodrome

Plivot (51150) is a commune in the Marne department, located in the Champagne plain southeast of Épernay. It is home to the Épernay-Plivot aerodrome, a regional aviation hub that hosts the Ailes Sparnaciennes and other aeronautical associations. This unique aeronautical setting gives Plivot a special identity within the Champagne region, and its two annual flea markets make it a remarkably vibrant village.
