Brocante Vide-Grenier d'Albas

The Brocante Vide-Grenier d'Albas, in the Cahors vineyard

Albas is one of the most beautiful villages in the Lot, perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Lot Valley in the heart of the Cahors AOC vineyard. It is in this picturesque setting that Violetta organizes a flea market and car boot sale every year, bringing together villagers and those from the surrounding area for a friendly day of second-hand shopping and treasure hunting.

A car boot sale in the heart of the wine-growing Quercy

The exhibitors, mainly individuals clearing out their attics, offer a wide variety of items: antique furniture, tableware, books, clothes, tools, toys, and various curiosities. Experienced treasure hunters and casual strollers alike find something to their liking in the aisles of this village market, which reflects the richness of the daily heritage of Quercy.

Albas is renowned for its rich historical heritage, particularly its medieval castle and troglodyte caves carved into the cliff face. The car boot sale is part of the lively life of this village, which hosts many events throughout the summer season.

A recurring event true to the village spirit

The Albas flea market and car boot sale is an annual event, true to the spirit of conviviality and sharing that characterizes this village in the Lot Valley. The atmosphere is relaxed, prices are negotiable, and the day often ends with a glass of Cahors wine in good company. Light refreshments and a bar are usually available on site.

Getting to Albas

Albas is accessible from Cahors via the D8 road, following the Lot Valley towards Puy-l'Évêque. The village is also close to Luzech and Puy-l'Évêque. Parking is available at the entrance to the village.
