Talmas Spring Rederia

A spring réderie rooted in Picardy tradition

Every spring, the village of Talmas hosts its réderie in the village centre. This event, which perpetuates a specifically Picardy word and tradition, brings together residents of Talmas and surrounding villages around a shared desire: to clear attics and cellars to give a second life to everyday objects.

Talmas, Doullennais village

Talmas is a village of about 600 inhabitants located in the Doullennais, this agricultural sub-region of northern Somme, about twenty kilometres north of Amiens. Saint-Martin church, Picardy farms and red brick houses compose this typical northern department landscape.

A village centre turned market

The centre of Talmas transforms on the Sunday of the réderie into a vast open-air market. Exhibitors, mostly private, set up their stalls along the main streets. You will find the typical bric-à-brac of réderies: tableware, linen, books, vinyls, toys, clothes, small furniture, tools.

A village festival atmosphere

Beyond the stalls, the Talmas Spring Réderie is a day of encounters and conviviality. Volunteers provide welcome, a refreshment stand, often grilled food. Families are numerous, children circulate between stalls.

A Doullennais escape

Visiting Talmas for its réderie also means discovering a lesser-known sub-region of the Somme. The Doullennais offers quiet landscapes, authentic villages. After the réderie, enthusiasts can detour via the Vauban citadel of Doullens.
