CAC Car Boot Sale in Cernay-lès-Reims

The CAC Car Boot Sale in Cernay-lès-Reims (51420) is organized by the CAC (Comité des Activités Culturelles or Comité d'Animation Communal, depending on the edition), one of the most active associations in this village in the Montagne de Reims. With over 300 sellers, it is one of the busiest car boot sales on the southeastern outskirts of Reims.

The event takes place outdoors, in the streets and spaces of the village of Cernay-lès-Reims. The sellers, mainly individuals from the commune and surrounding areas, display their items for a day of lively bargain hunting. The offerings are varied and exhaustive: clothing for the whole family, used toys and games, books and records, dishes and kitchen utensils, small appliances, tools and gardening equipment, decorations and knick-knacks, light furniture. The quality of the items offered is often good in this type of village car boot sale, where sellers sort through their attics and cellars and offer items in good condition.

The organization by the CAC ensures serious management and a smooth experience for sellers and visitors: advance registration, layout plan, refreshment stand and catering on-site, possible entertainment. The atmosphere is that of a village car boot sale where everyone knows each other, conducive to good deals and impromptu conversations. Over 300 sellers in one location means a considerable offering that attracts visitors from Reims and the entire Montagne de Reims region.
