The traditional réderie of the Picardy Vimeu
The Andainville Réderie takes place every spring in this small Vimeu village, in southwestern Somme. An event rooted in the pure Picardy tradition of réderies, it gathers private individuals and bargain hunters for an authentic, friendly display: tableware, clothes, books, toys, tools, trinkets. A pleasant stop for rural bargain hunters near the Bresle valley.
Andainville is a small village of about 200 inhabitants nestled in the Picardy Vimeu, a southwestern Somme region traditionally specialized in locksmithing and fine metallurgy. Each spring, the town organizes its annual réderie.
Exhibitors, mostly villagers and neighbours, unpack in the streets a classic Picardy réderie range: tableware, family clothes, toys, books, vinyls, old papers, tools and hardware, small furniture. Hunters sometimes find objects linked to local craft: old locks, metalworking tools.
The Vimeu, a region traditionally devoted to small metallurgy (locks, plumbing, hardware), retains a marked industrial identity. Réderies sometimes reveal material traces of this history on their stalls.
"Réderie", typically Picardy, designates more than a simple flea market: a sharing moment where one comes as much to see neighbours as to hunt bargains.
Arrive early. Bring small cash. Explore the surroundings: the Bresle valley, famous for its glass industry, is just a few kilometres away.
