Bellignat Car Boot Sale

The Bellignat Car Boot Sale: Treasure Hunting at the Foot of the Haut-Bugey Mountains

Every last Sunday in April, Bellignat, a residential commune next to Oyonnax in Haut-Bugey, hosts its annual car boot sale in the village hall car park. This outdoor event offers residents of the "Plastics Vallée" and surrounding communes the chance to hunt for treasures in a relaxed atmosphere and a green setting.

A Human-Sized Neighbourhood Car Boot Sale

The Bellignat car boot sale cultivates the spirit of proximity and conviviality typical of small towns. The sellers, exclusively private individuals, set up their stalls in the large car park of the village hall, offering a varied assortment of everyday items: clothes for the whole family, toys, books, crockery, small decorative items, trinkets, and attic curiosities.

Bellignat, Between Industry and Nature

Bellignat is part of the Haut-Bugey conurbation, a dynamic area known for its plastic industry and its mid-mountain landscapes. The commune, crossed by the Oignin river, offers a pleasant living environment between forests and meadows. The Jacques Prévert Social and Cultural Centre animates local associative life and participates in the organisation of the village's cultural and festive events.

A Moment of Sharing Among Neighbours

The Bellignat car boot sale is above all a moment of conviviality and reunion for the inhabitants of the neighbourhood and neighbouring communes. In this town with a particularly dense network of associations, the event is a prime opportunity to meet, chat, and share in a relaxed atmosphere. Children have fun between the stalls while parents search for bargains, in the tradition of village car boot sales that charm local life in the Ain department.

Practical Information

The car boot sale is held in the car park of the Bellignat village hall, easily accessible from Oyonnax and the communes of Haut-Bugey. Entry is free for visitors. Parking is available around the village hall. Sellers are invited to contact the town hall or the Jacques Prévert Social Centre for registration details and prices.
