Monthly Street Sale of Sourdeval

Monthly Street Sale of Sourdeval

Organized by the association La Belle Époque, the Monthly Street Sale of Sourdeval takes place every first Sunday of the month in this small town in Mortainais (50150). With around 150 exhibitors — both individuals and professionals — the Sourdeval street sale is one of the most important monthly events in the Manche department.

The high number of exhibitors — 150 per edition — is remarkable for a town the size of Sourdeval (approximately 3,000 inhabitants). This testifies to the exceptional reach of this event, which extends far beyond the local area. Visitors flock from all over southern Manche, neighboring Orne, and even Brittany to hunt among the stalls: furniture and antique objects, clothing, books and records, tools, tableware, toys, various collections.

The association La Belle Époque, the driving force behind this event, ensures a well-honed organization that guarantees the smooth running of each edition. The Sourdeval street sale is also an important moment of social life for the town and its inhabitants, who see their community come alive each month around this friendly gathering. Catering and local entertainment often accompany the event.

Sourdeval, in the heart of Mortainais

Sourdeval (50150) is a commune in Manche, in the heart of bocage Normandy, in the Mortainais sector. Crossed by the Sée river, which flows down from the Norman hills, Sourdeval is a lively town that concentrates services for the surrounding rural communes. Its position at the crossroads of roads between Saint-Lô, Avranches, and Domfront makes it a natural hub.

The Mortainais region, of which Sourdeval is one of the flagship communes, is a land of hills, hedgerows, and deep valleys, offering remarkable landscapes. The town has maintained an active commercial and associative life, of which the monthly street sale is one of the jewels. This anchoring in the tradition of markets and fairs is deeply Norman.
