The annual bargain hunt in the former capital of the Counts of Vermandois
Every June, Nesle organises its major annual vide-grenier, a much-appreciated rendezvous for bargain hunters of the Santerre and Vermandois. With around 89 exhibitors, this event brings together residents and visitors in the streets of this small historic town, former capital of the Counts of Vermandois. In a friendly and family atmosphere, bargain hunting is accompanied by a real discovery of local heritage.
With its 89 announced exhibitors, the Nesle vide-grenier ranks among the significant events in the bargain-hunting calendar of eastern Somme. This intermediate size offers a good balance.
Nesle is a small town of around 2,500 inhabitants located in the Santerre, in the east of the Somme department. Its history is particularly rich: former capital of the county of Vermandois in the Middle Ages. Almost entirely destroyed during World War I and rebuilt in the 1920s.
The vide-grenier invades the town centre streets of Nesle, creating an urban bargain-hunting route alternating stalls, open shops and cafés.
The annual Nesle vide-grenier is one of the eagerly awaited rendezvous of residents. The town-centre shopkeepers also take advantage of the occasion to open on Sunday.
A day in Nesle for the vide-grenier can be an opportunity to discover the town and its surroundings. The Notre-Dame collegiate church deserves a detour.
