14th July Car Boot Sale of Padirac

The 14th July Car Boot Sale in Padirac, a National and Popular Celebration

Each year, on July 14th, the village of Padirac (46500) celebrates the national holiday in its own way: with a large car boot sale organized on the church square by the Padicréa association, followed by an animated gourmet market in the evening. A complete day of celebration that brings together the villagers and the many tourists passing through this town in the Lot, world-renowned for its chasm.

Padicréa, Animator of Local Life

The Padicréa association, which works to animate Padirac culturally and festively throughout the year, organizes this annual car boot sale with the commune's Animation Committee. The event brings together between 50 and 100 private and professional exhibitors on the church square, offering a good selection of second-hand items, clothing, books, and various curiosities. Reservations can be made with Padicréa ([email protected] / 06 72 07 67 27).

Church Square, an Authentic Village Setting

Padirac's church square provides the natural setting for this summer car boot sale. In this typical Quercy village on the Causse de Gramat, the square animated by exhibitors creates a much-appreciated rustic festival atmosphere. Children's games, drinks, and food complete the day for families who come to hunt for treasures and enjoy the entertainment.

Gourmet Market and Musical Entertainment in the Evening

The 14th July car boot sale in Padirac is complemented in the evening by a gourmet market with musical entertainment, transforming the day into a complete national holiday.
