The Négrondes Car Boot Sale: Over Twenty Years of Tradition

The Négrondes car boot sale is a summer event that has been an integral part of village life for over twenty years. Organized by the ACCA de Négrondes (Communal Accredited Hunting Association), this event attracts bargain hunters and strollers to the village streets for a day of good deals, from 8 am to 6 pm.

Négrondes, a Village in the Périgord Vert

Négrondes is a rural commune in the Périgord Vert, located between Excideuil and Thiviers, on the northern hills of the Dordogne. The village, crossed by departmental roads, retains a strong rural character with its stone houses, its church, and the surrounding farms. The commune is part of the Périgord countryside where associative life maintains a dynamic social fabric despite the low population density.

Barbecues, Raffles, and Friendliness

Beyond the bargain hunting, the Négrondes car boot sale is a moment of village conviviality. The barbecues prepared by ACCA volunteers, the raffle (with prizes), and the refreshments create a rustic festival atmosphere. Visitors can find a wide selection of items: crockery, trinkets, clothing, tools, books, toys, and small furniture, in a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere.

An Event Rooted in Local Life

The Négrondes car boot sale exemplifies the ability of small rural communes in the Périgord Vert to organize unifying events. The ACCA, a traditional association in French rural villages, handles the logistical organization and catering, mobilizing volunteers for a day that brings together residents and visitors from surrounding communes.
