Car boot sale MJC de Fismes

MJC de Fismes Car Boot Sale, Allée des Promenades

The MJC de Fismes Car Boot Sale is a must-attend spring event for flea market and second-hand enthusiasts in the Reims district. Organized during the Ascension weekend on the Allée des Promenades in Fismes (51170), this annual event benefits from both the charm of this tree-lined boulevard and the crowds generated by the long public holiday weekend.

The MJC (Maison des Jeunes et de la Culture) of Fismes is an essential cultural and social player in the commune. By organizing this annual car boot sale on the Allée des Promenades, it fulfills a dual mission: to liven up the town and offer all its residents the opportunity to participate in a local event combining leisure and the circular economy. The car boot sale is also, for the MJC, a way to finance its cultural and educational activities throughout the year.

The Allée des Promenades, a green setting for treasure hunting

The Allée des Promenades is one of the most pleasant public spaces in Fismes. This tree-lined boulevard, ideal for strolling, offers the flea market a particularly pleasant shaded and green setting on warm May days. Exhibitors set up along the avenue, creating a row of stalls that visitors browse at their own pace, enjoying the shade of the trees and the pleasant atmosphere of the promenade.

This choice of location is one of the keys to the success of the MJC car boot sale: the Allée des Promenades is well known to the locals of Fismes, easily accessible on foot from the town center, and offers comfortable visiting conditions. Families with children, the elderly, and bargain hunters of all ages can stroll there without difficulty.

Fismes, a town between Reims and Soissons

Fismes (51170) is a commune in the Marne department located in the Vesle valley, on the border between the Marne and Aisne departments, halfway between Reims and Soissons. This crossroads geographical position has given it a rich history: Fismes was long an important stop on the coronation route, as the kings of France passed through it on their journey from Paris to Reims to be crowned. The town has interesting historical heritage, notably its Saint-Macre abbey church and the remains of its medieval castle.

Fismes is also the gateway to the Montagne de Reims from the west. This wooded massif, a renowned regional natural park for its champagne vineyards and forests, is accessible in a few minutes by car from Fismes. Visitors attending the MJC car boot sale can thus combine their bargain hunting day with an excursion into this exceptional natural and wine-growing territory.
