US Corbie Football Flea Market

Football serving bargain hunting

The US Corbie Football flea market illustrates the Picardy tradition of events organised by local associations. Proceeds fund equipment, youth team travel and facility upkeep - good reasons for bargain hunters to support the club.

Rue Théodore Roussel, a practical central setting

The event takes place on rue Théodore Roussel, a central street near Corbie's sports facilities, easily accessible and a few minutes' walk from the historic centre and the Saint-Pierre abbey church.

Corbie, Carolingian capital of the Somme

Corbie is a small historic town about twenty kilometres east of Amiens. Founded around a famous Benedictine abbey in the 7th century, it was a major intellectual and religious centre in the Carolingian era.

A mix of generations

Like any good Picardy flea market, the US Corbie Football event mixes generations: families with children, young adults seeking small furniture, retirees on a stroll, collectors hunting for rarer items.

A morning of hunting followed by a visit to the old town

From 6 am to 5 pm, plenty of time to hunt. Many visitors extend their day with a visit to the abbey or a walk along the Somme.
