La Big Broc de l'UCIA Sedan

La Big Broc de l'UCIA Sedan: the grand flea market of the ducal city

Every spring, in June, the UCIA of Sedan — Union Commerciale et Industrielle et Artisanale, created in 1907 — organizes its big annual flea market in the streets of the ducal city of Sedan (08200). This popular event brings together exhibitors, merchants, and onlookers in a festive atmosphere, in the heart of one of the most historic cities in the Ardennes.

The UCIA, a century-old player in Sedan's commerce

Founded in 1907, the UCIA of Sedan is one of the oldest commercial unions in Ardenne. It brings together nearly 150 businesses from commerce, industry, and crafts in Sedan and its region. La Big Broc is one of the association's flagship events, helping to liven up the city center and create a popular gathering eagerly awaited each year by residents and visitors.

A flea market in the heart of the ducal city

The streets of Sedan provide a remarkable setting for this event. The city, dominated by the Château Fort de Sedan — the largest fortified castle in Europe with its 35,000 m² — offers an incomparable historical backdrop. The flea market stalls extend along the streets of the city center, offering a wide variety of second-hand items: furniture, tableware, books, vintage clothing, collector's items, and curiosities.

Sedan, a city of Ardennes history

Sedan is an exceptional city in the Ardennes. In addition to its monumental fortified castle, it holds remarkable architectural and historical heritage linked to the woolen cloth industry that made it famous throughout Europe. The UCIA flea market is part of this dynamic of enhancing and animating local heritage.
