Nesle Vide-grenier

A major rendezvous in the Santerre calendar

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, former capital of Vermandois

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.

Varied bargain hunting in the town centre

The vide-grenier invades the town centre streets of Nesle, creating an urban bargain-hunting route alternating stalls, open shops and cafés.

A well-established urban tradition

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.

Discovering Nesle and the Santerre

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.
