Villeneuve-d'Ascq Bourg Street Sale

The Braderie du Bourg: In the Heart of Old Annappes

The Bourg district corresponds to the historic center of Annappes, one of the three villages (along with Ascq and Flers-lez-Lille) that merged to create Villeneuve-d'Ascq in 1970. Saint-Pierre Church, the annex town hall, and traditional Flemish houses bear witness to this village past. The braderie takes over Rue Jules Guesde and the adjacent streets of Bourg for a day of outdoor bargain hunting.

A Neighborhood Street Market Open to Professionals and Individuals

Unlike the 'vide-greniers' (flea markets) in Villeneuve-d'Ascq, which are reserved for individuals only, the Braderie du Bourg is a street market open to both individuals and professionals (second-hand dealers, antique dealers, merchants). Bargain hunters and collectors will find a wide variety of items: clothes, toys, furniture, books, crockery, trinkets, antiques, and vintage items.

Villeneuve-d'Ascq, a New Town in the North

Villeneuve-d'Ascq is a new town established in 1970, which has managed to preserve the village centers of its three founding communes while developing major facilities: a university campus, the LAM modern art museum, the Pierre-Mauroy stadium, and the Lac du Héron. The neighborhood street markets perpetuate the village tradition in this resolutely modern city.
