ASPEB Car boot sale in Bernède

The ASPEB car boot sale in Bernède

Every year on Pentecost, the ASPEB association organizes its car boot sale at the Bernède village hall. This spring event allows individuals to clear out attics, cellars, and closets while offering bargain hunters a varied selection of second-hand items in a welcoming village setting. The event takes place both indoors, in the village hall, and outdoors on the adjacent grounds.

Two exhibition spaces

The organization offers two options for exhibitors. Indoors, in the village hall, tables are charged at 5 euros each, providing a sheltered and comfortable space regardless of weather conditions. Outdoors, the rate is 2 euros per linear meter, allowing exhibitors with large volumes to set up at a lower cost on the open-air grounds.

ASPEB, the engine of community life

ASPEB (Association de Saint-Pierre et de Bernède) is the driving force behind the community and cultural life of this small rural commune. Throughout the year, it organizes meals, bingo games, parties, and events that mark the life of Bernède and its surroundings. The Pentecost car boot sale is one of its most popular events, contributing both to the association's funding and to the village's animation.

Bernède, a village in Gers' Bas-Armagnac

Bernède is a small rural commune of about a hundred inhabitants, located in the canton of Riscle, in the heart of the Bas-Armagnac region. This landscape of vineyards, fields, and woods characterizes deep Gascony, far from the main roads. The village hall, a gathering point for the community, comes alive on market and festival days, offering a convivial space appreciated by residents and their neighbors.

A Pentecost gathering in the heart of Armagnac

The Pentecost weekend is a prime time for flea markets and car boot sales in the Gers region. The spring weather and public holidays encourage outings, and Bernède takes advantage of this momentum to bring together exhibitors and visitors around its village hall, in a typical relaxed Gascon southwest village atmosphere.
