Morcourt Flea Market

The Morcourt flea market: bargain hunting by the Somme

Morcourt is one of those discreet villages of the Haute-Somme, nestled along the river or its marshes, where the tradition of summer rederies is still kept alive. Each early August, the annual flea market transforms the streets and village square into a bargain-hunting trail.

A traditional rural event

As in most small villages of the department, the organization of this flea market is the work of local volunteers. Stalls are set up from early morning, exhibitors chat with each other.

What to find

The exhibitors, mainly individuals from the village and surrounding communes, offer the classic range of the rural flea market: clothing, used toys, books, crockery, small furniture, linen, knick-knacks.

Morcourt, Haute-Somme village

Morcourt is a small commune of about 400 inhabitants located in the Haute-Somme, halfway between Corbie and Péronne. Crossed by the river and bordered by marshes, it enjoys a remarkable natural setting.
