Crouy Military Antiques Fair

The Crouy Military Antiques Fair: A Gathering for History Enthusiasts

Crouy, a small town in the Aisne region located at the gates of Soissons and at the end of the famous Chemin des Dames, hosts a military antiques fair organized by the Association Éperon 132. This specialized event brings together collectors, military history enthusiasts, and dealers in the town's community hall.

A Place Steeped in History

The choice of Crouy to host such a fair is not accidental. The town is located at the crossroads of major World War I memorial sites: the Chemin des Dames, the Vregny and Nouvron plateaus, and the underground quarries. The Association Éperon 132, whose name refers to a strategic topographical point of the battles, perpetuates the memory of these historical events through the organization of this fair.

Military and Collectible Items

The fair offers a wide range of military items: uniforms, medals, decorations, helmets, equipment, collectible weapons, old postcards, period documents, military history books, and souvenirs from both World Wars. Individuals and professionals mingle in a friendly atmosphere, conducive to exchanges between enthusiasts.

Organization and Welcome

The Crouy community hall provides a comfortable setting for this indoor fair. Parking is easy around the hall. Refreshments and food on site allow visitors to spend the day in the best conditions. Entry is set at €2, with free admission for children under 12 years old.
