27th Grand Car Boot Sale and Spring Fair of Confolens

27 years of tradition at Le Mas Félix

The Grand Car Boot Sale and Spring Fair of Confolens celebrates its 27th edition in 2026. Organized by the Comité des Fêtes de Confolens, this event has established itself over the decades as one of the unmissable spring gatherings in Charente limousine. The vast Le Mas Félix fairground offers ample space to accommodate between 100 and 200 exhibitors, both individuals and professionals.

A generous welcome for exhibitors

The Comité des Fêtes de Confolens stands out for the quality of its welcome: each exhibitor receives a free welcome coffee or kir upon arrival from 6 am. The pitch fee is only €1.50 per linear meter, with the possibility of parking their vehicle directly on-site. No reservation is needed, with setup done on a first-come, first-served basis until the fairground is full.

Confolens, medieval city in northern Charente

Confolens, a sub-prefecture of Charente, is a charming town nestled at the confluence of the Vienne and Goire rivers. Renowned for its international folklore festival, its medieval old bridge, and its half-timbered houses, Confolens perpetuates a long tradition of popular gatherings. The Le Mas Félix fairground, located at the entrance of the town, is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.

Spring fair and entertainment

Beyond the car boot sale, the spring fair features various exhibitions and fairground attractions for children. At lunchtime, a meal under a marquee for €20 allows visitors to extend their day in a festive atmosphere. The buffet and the permanent refreshment stand provide quick food options throughout the day.
