Wiencourt-l'Équipée Rederia

A village réderie in the heart of the Santerre

The Wiencourt-l'Équipée Réderie is part of the long tradition of bargain hunting rendezvous organized by Picardy villages at the return of spring. On the village square, behind the church, exhibitors set up their stalls from 7am to welcome the earliest hunters.

Wiencourt-l'Équipée: a village with a singular name

The name Wiencourt-l'Équipée intrigues: it would come from an ancient military episode, an "équipée" that marked local memory. Today this village of about 350 inhabitants sits in the Santerre, this fertile agricultural plateau.

The church square, heart of bargain hunting

The village square, behind the church, constitutes the ideal setting for a human-scale réderie. Exhibitors display the typical bric-à-brac of village réderies: tableware, books, toys, clothes, old linen, small furniture.

A morning friendly atmosphere

The 7am start gives the Wiencourt-l'Équipée Réderie this particular atmosphere of morning events. As the morning progresses, attendance grows.

A rendezvous in the Amiens Santerre

Going to Wiencourt-l'Équipée is also the opportunity to discover the Santerre. A few kilometres away, you can explore the Luce valley or visit the Canadian and Australian memorials of Villers-Bretonneux.
