Bric à Brac — Saint-Ay

The Bric à Brac of Saint-Ay by the Loire

Saint-Ay, a commune in the Loiret region located on the banks of the Loire between Orléans and Meung-sur-Loire, hosts its annual Bric à Brac every spring at the communal campsite by the river. Organized by the Comité des Fêtes, this event is strictly reserved for individuals — no professionals are accepted — which gives it remarkable authenticity and conviviality.

Around 200 Private Exhibitors

With around 200 available spots, the Bric à Brac of Saint-Ay is one of the most popular car boot sales in the Orléans area. Exhibitors can arrive from 6 am to 8:30 am to set up, with the event opening to the public at 7 am and ending at 6 pm. The price is €2.50 per linear meter, with a maximum of 7 meters per vehicle, which is a very accessible cost for individuals wishing to clear out their closets.

The restriction to individuals only (no professional flea market dealers or resellers) guarantees reasonable prices and an authentic atmosphere. This is one of the criteria that has made this event successful for many years.

The Riverside Campsite, an Exceptional Natural Setting

The Saint-Ay campsite, located by the Loire, offers an exceptional natural setting for a car boot sale. The large lawns by the river allow stalls to be set up in a spacious and green area. The nearby Loire completes the scenery for this spring second-hand day.

Saint-Ay, a Dynamic Loire Commune

Saint-Ay is a commune of 3,500 inhabitants located in the first ring of the Orléans agglomeration. It benefits from active community life, of which the Comité des Fêtes is one of the main players. In addition to the Bric à Brac, the commune organizes various cultural and festive events throughout the year.
