Rivery Flea Market (September)

A neighbourhood flea market in Rivery

Rivery, a commune of about 4,700 inhabitants just north-east of Amiens, holds several flea markets a year. The one on Sunday 27 September 2026 is held on rue Paule Roy (at number 17), in a quiet residential setting. Human-scaled, the event gathers about fifty private sellers, mostly locals and residents of nearby communes.

A private-seller bric-a-brac

Rivery flea markets keep their original spirit: families emptying attics, cellars and wardrobes to refresh their belongings. The offer is typical of the urban vide-grenier: children's and adults' clothing, childcare items, toys in good condition, books, records, tableware, trinkets, small furniture and decorative items. Prices are gentle, the atmosphere relaxed, and bargains possible for patient hunters.

A family event

The event is particularly attended by Amiens families looking for children's clothes or second-hand toys. The atmosphere is that of a neighbourhood gathering: greeting each other, chatting, sharing a coffee. Rue Paule Roy, in a quiet Rivery area, offers a pleasant setting. Traffic is adjusted to let bargain hunters move safely.

Rivery, north-eastern gateway of Amiens

Rivery is a residential commune of the Amiens metropolis, bordered by the Somme river and its ponds — a gateway to the Hortillonnages floating gardens. The village has kept a quiet character despite its proximity to the prefecture. Access from central Amiens is easy via the D1029 or Amétis public transport. Nature lovers can extend their visit with a walk along the Somme.
