Place du Pré Commun, ideal summer setting

The Place du Pré Commun is one of the emblematic spaces of La Canourgue, this small medieval town nicknamed the "petite Venise du Gévaudan". In August, during the peak summer season, La Canourgue is bustling with many tourists and holidaymakers who come to discover its medieval heritage and the gorges of the Lot. The car boot sale benefits from this influx to attract a varied and numerous audience.

By organizing this car boot sale for its 20th edition, it demonstrates remarkable longevity and local roots. The profits from the event are used to finance the cultural and associative activities of the Foyer Rural, for the benefit of all residents.
