Flea Market and Réderie of Molliens-Dreuil

Molliens-Dreuil, a Picard village at the heart of the plateau

Molliens-Dreuil is a Somme town born in 1972 from the merger of the villages of Molliens-Vidame and Dreuil-lès-Molliens. Located on the Picard plateau between the Somme and Selle valleys, it retains the rural character that makes all the charm of this corner of western Picardy.

A réderie to the rhythm of the village

The October réderie is one of the two important annual events of the local calendar, along with the Saint-Simon Fair held a week later. The streets of the town center fill with stalls where residents of the town and surrounding villages empty their attics. The use of the word réderie, typical of Picardy, recalls the strong regional identity of the Somme.

What you'll find

The offer is essentially that of a family flea market: mismatched crockery and glassware, household linen, children's and adult clothing, shoes, toys, childcare items, paperback books, comics, records, small decorations, trinkets. Some years also bring farm tools, rural objects and light wooden furniture typical of Picard homes.

The spirit of Somme réderies

What makes Somme réderies special is their dual commercial and social nature. People don't come only to bargain hunt, but also to meet their neighbors, chat with exhibitors, have a coffee at the village bistro or share a frite-saucisse at the refreshment bar.

A pleasant stop between Amiens and Abbeville

For bargain hunters coming from further away, Molliens-Dreuil is a pleasant stop on the road to Abbeville. The town is about twenty kilometers west of Amiens, easily accessible via the D211. The surroundings offer several possibilities for discovery: the Selle valley, the Rambures castle, or the Somme valley and its famous Amiens floating gardens.
