The Big Car Boot Sale of Courcy-aux-Loges (45) — 22nd Edition

Courcy-aux-Loges is a village in Beauce, about ten kilometers east of Pithiviers. Every May 8th — Victory Day — its Festival Committee organizes one of the most imposing car boot sales in the Pithiviers area: the "Big Car Boot Sale" of Courcy-aux-Loges, an event now in its 22nd edition, which regularly brings together over 300 exhibitors in the village center.

Over Three Hundred Exhibitors Without Reservation

The formula for the Courcy-aux-Loges car boot sale is simple and appreciated by exhibitors: on-site registration only, without prior reservation. This first-come, first-served principle encourages exhibitors to arrive very early — setup begins at 6 am — and creates a dynamic morning atmosphere that gives the event an authentic popular festival feel. Individuals and professionals mingle to offer their items, from clothing to furniture, toys, books, and curiosities.

A Friendly and Well-Oiled Organization
