We rummage, we rummage, we turn over the boxes and sometimes... surprise! Retro crockery, comics from yesteryear, forgotten furniture, jewelry still shining under the dust: each object has its own little secret to reveal.

The important thing is to poke around, have fun and enjoy this open-air festival, where the past is shown at its best.
Stay tuned for more flea markets to be added in the near future.
