The Chaumont-sur-Tharonne Car Boot Sale

In the Heart of Grande Sologne

Chaumont-sur-Tharonne is one of the most picturesque villages in Grande Sologne.

A Popular Gathering

The car boot sale welcomes individual sellers offering the usual items: toys, clothes, tableware, trinkets, and small furniture. The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, with refreshments available on site. A great way to discover this Sologne village while finding good deals.

Grande Sologne, Land of Nature

Grande Sologne is one of the largest forested areas in France, with its pine and oak forests, thousands of ponds, and heather moors. Chaumont-sur-Tharonne is at the heart of this preserved territory, where nature still dictates the rhythm of the seasons. The annual car boot sale is part of this peaceful local life, offering a moment of village conviviality in the spring.

A Typical Village

The center of Chaumont-sur-Tharonne features typically Solognote architecture: brick and half-timbered houses, steep tiled roofs, and that forest atmosphere that permeates the entire village. The church, local shops, and town hall form the heart of the village where the car boot sale takes place. Visitors from Lamotte-Beuvron, Romorantin, or La Ferté-Saint-Aubin appreciate this authentic setting.
