22nd ACTA Car Boot Sale of Berdoues

A historic car boot sale in the land of Astarac

For over twenty years, the ACTA car boot sale of Berdoues has enlivened the village in the spring. Organized by the association ACTA (Animation Culture Tourisme en Astarac), this event has built a loyal community of bargain hunters and exhibitors from all over the Gers and neighboring departments. The 22nd edition in 2026 confirms the event's place in the calendar of flea market enthusiasts in the Southwest.

Village square and village hall

Exhibitors set up in the village square outdoors and in the village hall for covered stalls. This dual setup allows for dealing with the unpredictable weather of early spring and offers a variety of atmospheres: the conviviality of the shaded square and the comfort of the hall for more fragile items. Gascon furniture, antique linens, country tableware, agricultural tools, vintage toys, and trinkets of all kinds make up the eclectic offering of this car boot sale.

Berdoues, village of Astarac

Berdoues is a small village in the pays d'Astarac, 5 km north of Mirande, the sub-prefecture of the Gers. The commune is famous for the remains of its Cistercian abbey founded in the 12th century, of which a few remarkable architectural elements still exist. The rolling landscape of Astarac, between cultivated hillsides and oak forests, offers a bucolic setting for bargain hunters who wish to extend their visit with a stroll through the Gers countryside.

ACTA, driver of local life

The ACTA association has been driving cultural and tourist activities in the pays d'Astarac for years. The Berdoues car boot sale is one of its flagship events, but the association also organizes exhibitions, hikes, and festive events throughout the year. The profit from the car boot sale contributes to the financing of these local activities.
