Chépy Ascension Fair and Flea Market

Ascension at Chépy: an ancient tradition

The Ascension fair is an ancient rendezvous in many Somme villages, a legacy of the great annual fairs organized around religious celebrations. At Chépy, this tradition continues today with a modern formula combining foire à tout and flea market.

Chépy, Vimeu village

Chépy is a commune of about 1,300 inhabitants located in the Vimeu, between Abbeville (10 km) and the Picardy coast. The Vimeu is this historical sub-region of the Somme known for its industrial heritage.

A fair and flea market formula

The event combines two complementary formats. The foire à tout welcomes private sellers from the village, while the flea market adds a more professional dimension with specialized exhibitors.

A festive public holiday atmosphere

The Ascension atmosphere at Chépy is that of a festive day. The village takes on the air of a great market. The refreshment stand offers fries, grilled food.

Combine bargain hunting and Bay of Somme discovery

Chépy's position, only a few kilometres from the coast, makes it an excellent starting point. After the fair, you can reach Cayeux-sur-Mer and its famous beach huts, Saint-Valery-sur-Somme or Le Crotoy.
