Baccarat Car Boot Sale

The Baccarat Car Boot Sale: Treasure Hunting by the Meurthe

Every year in September, the town of Baccarat hosts its traditional car boot sale on the Rives de Meurthe site, in a natural and picturesque setting under the bridge. This open-air event offers treasure hunters a unique backdrop, by the river Meurthe, in a town whose name is inseparable from the art of crystal.

A Friendly Riverside Event

Exhibitors, mainly individuals, set up their stalls along the banks and offer a wide variety of second-hand items: tableware, trinkets, toys, clothes, books, vinyl records, and collectibles. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, conducive to browsing and finding bargains. The green setting of the Meurthe riverbanks adds a special charm to this day of treasure hunting.

Baccarat, City of Crystal

Located in the Lunéville district, Baccarat is a town steeped in history, famous worldwide for its crystal factory founded in 1764. Visitors to the car boot sale can extend their day with a visit to the Crystal Museum or a stroll through the streets of this charming Lorraine town. The car boot sale is thus part of Baccarat's cultural and heritage offerings, attracting locals and tourists alike.
