The Braderie: a 48 hour festival of brocanteurs all around the city of Lille. The history of the Braderie of Lille is not well known. It is supposed that the tradition dates from the Middle Ages, when once a year the servant classes of Lille were given permission to sell – from dusk to dawn – old clothes and objects belonging to their employers. Over the years the Braderie has changed, becoming much larger and lasting longer. But the overall free spirit of this September celebration remains.
