State services have been working for several months, in close collaboration with Lille City Hall, to prepare the big flea market, which will take place this year on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 September, with the aim of guaranteeing everyone’s safety during this major event.
Thus, over the weekend, nearly 3,000 state agents (police, gendarmes, customs officers, military) will be mobilized to ensure the security of the event.
A suitable and mobile device to guarantee public safety
No vehicles will be allowed to enter the perimeter of the flea market, with the exception of emergency services and law enforcement. Access points will be constantly monitored and searches may be carried out at the entrance and inside the perimeter in accordance with the SILT law (internal security and the fight against terrorism). A system has also been set up to carry out checks on the access routes to Lille.
Throughout the weekend, national police officers will be permanently present within the perimeter of the flea market. Urban security officers will carry out checks on drinking establishments and will issue fines and, where appropriate, administrative closures to establishments that do not respect closing times or the regulations applicable to drinking establishments.
People wishing to contact the national police will be able, in addition to their exchanges with the foot patrols, to go to one of the 5 PCs set up within the big sale: Place Richebé, Grand Place, Place Louise de Bettignies, near the Jean-Baptiste Lebas park (rue Denis Papin) and finally Façade de l’Esplanade (opposite the quai du Wault).
Security on public transport and in Lille train stations will be provided by officials from the interdepartmental public transport security service (SISTC) of the DIPN of the North, border police services, reinforced by personnel from the Sentinelle forces and the gendarmerie of the North.
The perimeter of the flea market will be subject to a specific low-altitude flight ban (3,100 feet – approximately 1,000 meters), prohibiting all drone flights except those piloted by law enforcement and assigned to event security.
A suitable device to protect consumers
Consumer information and the quality of the goods that will be put on sale at the Braderie will be subject to checks by the services of the departmental directorate for the protection of populations and the customs services. These services ensure that the rules aimed at protecting consumers are respected.
Street sales are prohibited. This type of sale, which does not comply with the regulations of the big sale, will be subject to checks.
Means of rescue for people
The SDIS emergency centres as well as the resources of the SAMU (Emergency Medical Assistance Service) and hospitals will be reinforced throughout the event and as close as possible.
Four approved first aid associations (civil protection, the national union of first aid and rescue associations – Unass Nord de France, the French rescue and first aid federation and the Red Cross) will be spread across 17 first aid stations, including several nautical stations covering the entire flea market area in order to provide first aid.
