Foire à tout du Neubourg 8 mai

The Foire à tout of May 8th in Le Neubourg, a public holiday tradition

May 8th, the day commemorating the Victory of 1945, is traditionally an occasion to organize flea markets and street sales in France. In Le Neubourg, the cantonal capital of the Neubourg plateau in the Eure department, this public holiday is used to organize a large "foire à tout" (everything sale) in the town's central square.

Le Neubourg, capital of the Norman agricultural plateau

Le Neubourg is a commune of about 4,500 inhabitants, the economic and administrative center of the Neubourg plateau, a vast agricultural plain stretching between the Seine and the Risle rivers. As the cantonal capital, Le Neubourg has a long commercial tradition: its weekly Tuesday market and its annual fairs have attracted residents and traders from surrounding communities for generations. The Château du Neubourg and its listed park are remarkable heritage sites that enhance the visit to the town.

A family day of good deals

The "foire à tout" on May 8th brings together individuals clearing out their attics and professional antique dealers offering selected vintage items. The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, reflecting the spirit of this spring public holiday. Clothing, furniture, books, vinyl records, tableware, toys, and trinkets are displayed on stalls spread across the Place du Marché and adjacent streets.

A popular spring event

Taking advantage of the mild May weather and the festive nature of the public holiday, the Foire à tout of Le Neubourg on May 8th attracts a large crowd from all over the Neubourg plateau and neighboring towns (Évreux, Louviers, Elbeuf). The town's commercial dynamism and accessibility facilitate the influx of visitors for this spring event.
