Rue Firefighters Association Flea Market

The Rue Firefighters Flea Market, solidarity and tradition

On Sunday 19 April 2026, the Rue Firefighters Association organizes its traditional flea market, on route d'Abbeville, with around 100 expected exhibitors. This annual event is one of the highlights of the town's associative fabric, driven by the commitment of volunteer firefighters.

Firefighters at the heart of local life

Firefighters associations, present in every French rescue centre, play an essential role in the social and solidarity life of communes. Beyond their protection and rescue mission, volunteer firefighters organize events all year round (Saint Barbara, calendars, flea markets, open days) that create links with residents and help fund additional equipment or activities for the teams. The Rue flea market fully fits into this tradition.

A hundred exhibitors in a privileged setting

With around 100 expected exhibitors, the Rue Firefighters Association Flea Market has reached a nice scale, making it a significant gathering for bargain hunters in coastal Picardy. Route d'Abbeville, the central axis of the commune, offers sufficient space to accommodate this number of exhibitors in good conditions.

Rue, historic Bay of Somme town

Rue is one of the most endearing towns of coastal Picardy, at the heart of the Marquenterre. A former port town, it retains exceptional heritage: the Chapel of the Holy Spirit, a masterpiece of 15th-century Flamboyant Gothic, the belfry town hall classified UNESCO, the medieval ramparts, mansions and picturesque lanes make it a remarkable heritage destination.

A bargain hunting weekend at the gates of the Bay of Somme

Rue's privileged position at the gates of the Bay of Somme allows planning a real bargain hunting weekend in the Marquenterre. The Marquenterre bird park, Le Crotoy, Saint-Valery-sur-Somme and Fort-Mahon-Plage offer as many complementary destinations to extend the visit.
