1st Saint-Bernard Car Boot Sale - Pierremont-sur-Amance

The 1st Saint-Bernard Car Boot Sale of Pierremont-sur-Amance

The 1st Saint-Bernard Car Boot Sale in Pierremont-sur-Amance (52500) marks an important moment in the life of this small village on the Langres plateau: the inauguration of a new popular event which, its organizers hope, will become an annual fixture. As the first edition, it carries the challenge of laying the foundations for an event destined to last and grow.

Pierremont-sur-Amance is a village in the canton of Langres, located in the valley of the Amance, a small tributary of the Saône which rises on the Langres plateau. This territory is characteristic of southern Haute-Marne: a vast limestone plateau cut by small green valleys, covered with forests and meadows where cattle farming is omnipresent. The gentle nature of this bucolic landscape makes it an ideal setting for outdoor events.

The name Saint-Bernard probably refers to the village's patronal feast day, the patron saint being celebrated on August 20th. The choice to place the car boot sale under this patronage highlights the new event's grounding in the village's traditions and identity. It is a way of saying that this event is not imposed from the outside but is born from the very roots of the local community.

The organizers have chosen to start ambitiously, by offering a car boot sale that appeals to both the inhabitants of Pierremont and flea market enthusiasts from neighboring communes on the Langres plateau. The warm welcome reserved for exhibitors and visitors, the on-site catering, and the organizers' conviviality should allow this first edition to lay solid foundations for the years to come.
