Annual Car Boot Sale of Libourne

The grand annual car boot sale of Libourne

Each year at the beginning of June, Libourne (33500) organizes its annual car boot sale in the town center of this bastide founded in 1270. The streets and squares of the historic center — from Place Abel Surchamp to the quays of the Dordogne — host dozens of private exhibitors offering clothes, toys, books, tableware, small furniture, trinkets, and decorative objects. The event is part of the tradition of town center car boot sales, where you can hunt for treasures while strolling through a remarkable heritage setting.

Libourne, bastide of the confluence

A sub-prefecture of Gironde, Libourne is a town of about 25,000 inhabitants located at the confluence of the Isle and the Dordogne. Gateway to the vineyards of Saint-Émilion, Pomerol, and Fronsac, it boasts a rich medieval heritage: Porte du Grand-Port, Tour du Grand-Port, listed town hall, arcades of Place Abel Surchamp. The annual car boot sale allows you to discover or rediscover this charming bastide while treasure hunting.

A family day along the streets

The Libourne car boot sale is a popular and family-friendly event. Strollers wander between the stalls, negotiate for a vintage lamp or a set of comic books, then sit down at the refreshment stand for a gourmet break. Musical entertainment sometimes accompanies the day, adding a festive touch to this Libourne treasure hunting event.
