Foire à tout de Charleval - September

The Foire à tout de Charleval: Autumn in Flea Market Mode in the Andelle Valley

Charleval is a town in the Andelle valley, in the north of the Eure department, a few kilometers from the Seine. Its September Foire à tout is one of the most important flea market events in this part of the department, bringing together around 230 exhibitors in the town's streets every autumn. The end of summer, with its still mild days and characteristic light, is conducive to this large popular event of bargain hunting and car boot sales.

230 Exhibitors for a Day of Bargain Hunting

Individuals and dealers set up shop from dawn in the streets of Charleval to offer a varied selection of flea market goods: antique furniture, tableware, books, clothing, tools, toys, and decorative objects. The Andelle valley, with its Norman houses and its network of old villages, is an inexhaustible source of items from old dwellings and regional attics. The September fair is often an opportunity to find beautiful pieces in anticipation of the end-of-year holidays.

Charleval and the Andelle Valley

Charleval is crossed by the Andelle, a clear river that joins the Seine at Romilly. The valley is known for its green landscapes, its mills, and its old paper factories. Fleury-sur-Andelle, Pîtres, and Romilly-sur-Andelle are in the immediate vicinity, forming a string of towns that share a taste for spring or autumn Foire à tout. The Charleval fair is part of this vibrant tradition of outdoor flea markets in rural Normandy.
