Miannay Brocante

Miannay Brocante: bargain hunting on the threshold of the Bay of Somme

Miannay is one of those Somme villages you cross heading from the Picardy coast to Abbeville. Nestled in the plain, between meadows and cultivated land, this rural commune preserves an authentic charm.

Village centre: a natural setting

The Miannay centre, as in many Picard villages, revolves around the church and public buildings. A convivial feel, with hunters circling at leisure, exhibitors knowing each other.

Brocante, not just réderie

"Brocante" implies an event open to professionals alongside individuals. Expect antique furniture, period crockery, collectibles (postcards, old papers, antique toys, trade tools), plus typical family bric-a-brac.

Miannay, village of Ponthieu-Vimeu

A commune a few kilometres south-west of Abbeville, at the junction of Ponthieu and Vimeu, near the Bay of Somme. Saint-Valery-sur-Somme, Le Crotoy and Cayeux-sur-Mer are within thirty minutes.

Planning the day

Arrive early for the best pieces. Bring cash, a suitable vehicle for furniture. Late morning is busiest; afternoon is best for negotiation. Extend with a trip to the Bay of Somme.
