A village in Argonne with a turbulent history

Brabant-en-Argonne is a small commune of 111 inhabitants, with postal code 55120. Located 18 km southwest of Verdun, it is part of the Argonne-Meuse inter-municipal community. The village has had a unique administrative history: merged with Récicourt in 1973, it regained its municipal independence in 2004. The Argonne forest, which surrounds it, is a historic forest massif that played a major role during the First World War.

An authentic outdoor car boot sale

The Brabant-en-Argonne car boot sale is a human-scale event, true to the spirit of village flea markets. The exhibitors, mainly private individuals, set up their stalls along Rue des Brouets and adjacent streets. You can find everything: crockery, trinkets, clothing, books, toys, garden tools, and small furniture.

A nature getaway just a stone's throw from Verdun

Participating in the Brabant-en-Argonne car boot sale is also an opportunity to discover this little-known part of the Meuse. The hiking trails of the Argonne forest are nearby, and the region's rolling landscapes invite you to extend your walk. Entry is free and a refreshment stand allows you to cool down between finds.
