ACRC Car Boot Sales of Podensac

The ACRC Car Boot Sales: Treasure Hunting in the Heart of the Graves

The ACRC (Association Culturelle et Récréative de Cérons) organizes several car boot sales per year in Podensac (33720), on the Allée Georges Montel, a tree-lined avenue in the heart of this small town in the Graves region. Each event brings together around 120 exhibitors – individuals and collectors – offering clothing, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, furniture, tools, and decorative items. The pitch costs €2 per linear meter, with a minimum of 5 meters per vehicle.

Podensac, a Wine Town on the Banks of the Garonne

Podensac is a commune of about 3,000 inhabitants, located on the left bank of the Garonne River, 30 km south of Bordeaux. Known as the birthplace of the Lillet liqueur, it is located in the heart of the Graves appellation. The Allée Georges Montel, lined with century-old plane trees, offers an ideal setting for car boot sales, combining shade and space. The town also hosts the famous Foire Sainte-Catherine, a centuries-old festive tradition.

Two Annual Events for Treasure Hunters

The ACRC generally schedules two car boot sales per year, one in spring (early May) and the other in early summer (mid-June). This bi-annual rhythm fosters a loyal following of regular treasure hunters who appreciate the quality of the organization, the abundance of exhibitors, and the friendly atmosphere of the refreshment and food services provided by the association's volunteers.
