Héricy September Flea Market

The Héricy September Flea Market: Back to School Under the Sign of Bargain Hunting

Every autumn, the village of Héricy organizes its large back-to-school flea market in the heart of the village. Led by AAB Héricy, a local cultural association involved in community life, this gathering is part of the traditions that mark the life of the Hericians and attract many visitors from surrounding communities. With the arrival of September and the end of the holidays, residents take the opportunity to sort through their homes and offer objects, clothes, toys, and small furniture to bargain lovers.

In the Heart of the Village, an Authentic Atmosphere

The installation in the center of the village gives this flea market a particular charm. The stands stretch along the streets, around the church and the squares, transforming the heart of Héricy into a huge open-air treasure market. Visitors wander from stall to stall, stop to chat with exhibitors, haggle over the price of a trinket or a piece of crockery, and discover along the way the old houses and typical alleys of this Briard village. The atmosphere is joyful, good-natured, conducive to meetings and strolling.

AAB Héricy, an Association at the Heart of Local Life

The Association Aux Amis de la Brosse (AAB) is one of the pillars of Héricy's cultural and social life. A 1901 law association, it organizes various events throughout the year that contribute to the animation of the village: neighbors' day, participation in the village festival, and of course the organization of this autumn flea market. Its action is part of an approach to enhance social ties and preserve the village character of Héricy.

Héricy, a Briard Village on the Banks of the Seine

Héricy is located in southern Seine-et-Marne, on the right bank of the Seine, in an exceptional natural environment between river and forest. The village, crossed by the river and bordered by the Champagne forest, is neighbor to Samois-sur-Seine, Chartrettes, and Vulaines-sur-Seine, in an area particularly prized for its quality of life and proximity to the Fontainebleau forest. Héricy station, on line R of the Transilien, allows easy access from Paris and Melun, making it a destination of choice for a day trip.

A Weekend of Bargain Hunting and Nature

Coming to hunt for bargains in Héricy in September also means enjoying the soft colors of late summer, the golden light on the banks of the Seine, and the freshness of the first autumn mornings. Enthusiasts gladly extend their visit with a walk along the water, a detour through the neighboring village of Samois-sur-Seine (where Django Reinhardt is buried), or an incursion into the nearby Fontainebleau forest. It is the ideal opportunity to combine the pleasure of bargain hunting with the discovery of an often-overlooked Île-de-France territory.
