Occoches Vide-Grenier

A Doullennais village vide-grenier

The Occoches Vide-Grenier is one of those discreet but endearing rendezvous that make up the real fabric of rural bargain hunting in the Somme. It offers a more intimate experience: a few dozen exhibitors, village residents, modest prices.

Occoches, north Somme village

Occoches is a small commune of about 200 inhabitants located in the Doullennais. Rural village surrounded by fields, it lies on the edge of the Pas-de-Calais.

Ascension Thursday: a prized date

Occoches chose Ascension Thursday to organize its annual vide-grenier. This spring public holiday offers the ideal setting.

Typical diversity of rural vide-greniers

Exhibitors, mostly private from the village, offer the characteristic diversity: tableware, linen, books, toys, clothes, small furniture, tools.

A day in the little-known Somme

Coming to Occoches is also an opportunity to discover this lesser-known part of the Somme. The Doullennais offers calm landscapes.
