Boussières Car Boot Sale

The Boussières Car Boot Sale, a Day of Treasure Hunting by the Doubs

Boussières is a village of some 1,200 inhabitants located in the Doubs valley, about fifteen kilometers south-east of Besançon. Its annual car boot sale, organized every spring, brings together private sellers and visitors passionate about treasure hunting in an authentic and relaxed village festival atmosphere.

The site welcomes stalls from the morning, allowing early birds to find the best items before the midday rush. It's an opportunity to find furniture, crockery, clothing, old toys, and a thousand everyday objects at very affordable prices.

Boussières, a Village in the Doubs Valley

The village of Boussières extends along the banks of the Doubs, in this natural corridor that connects Besançon to the Franche-Comté plain. Its green setting and authentic rural architecture make it a pleasant place to live. The church, half-timbered houses, and narrow streets in the center form a picturesque backdrop for this popular event.

The neighboring towns of Roche-lez-Beaupré, Marchaux-Chaudefontaine, and Tarcenay-Foucherans make Boussières a central point easily accessible from the Besançon agglomeration as well as from the plateau.

Practical Information

The car boot sale is free for visitors. Registration for private sellers is generally done through the town hall or the local festival committee. Parking is available near the site. Catering is often provided by local volunteers.
