Brocante des Sapeurs-Pompiers de Saint-Laurent-du-Pont

The firefighters' flea market in Saint-Laurent-du-Pont

Every late summer, the firefighters of Saint-Laurent-du-Pont organize their annual flea market and car boot sale in a remarkable setting. The event takes place at the Notre-Dame du Château chapel, a high-altitude site offering a breathtaking view of the village, the Guiers Mort valley, and the cliffs of the Chartreuse massif. This exceptional setting gives this flea market a very special charm not found in any other car boot sale in the region. Exhibitors, a mix of individuals and small antique dealers, offer crockery, trinkets, clothes, toys, books, tools, and various objects.

A family and friendly moment

The firefighters make it a point of honor to offer a friendly and family-friendly day. The on-site catering is varied and generous: sweet and savory crepes, hot-dogs, fries, grilled merguez, and godiveaux — this Chartrousine charcuterie specialty that is the pride of the local terroirs — satisfy the appetites of hungry bargain hunters. Children are not left out thanks to the inflatable structures specially set up for them, allowing them to have fun while parents calmly explore the flea market stalls.

To the benefit of the Firefighters' Association

The funds raised during this day are entirely donated to the Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers of Saint-Laurent-du-Pont. They help finance the social and festive activities of the fire station, acquire additional equipment, and carry out solidarity actions for the families of firefighters. Participating in this flea market also means supporting those who watch over the safety of residents and tourists in the Chartreuse massif day and night, a mountain territory where rescue interventions are particularly demanding.
