Car boot sale and Flea Market — ECCF Cénevières

The football car boot sale in Cénevières, a sporting and festive tradition

Cénevières (46330) is a picturesque village in the Lot Valley, dominated by its medieval castle perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the river. It is in this remarkable Quercy setting that the Entente Cajarc-Cénevières Foot (ECCF) organizes its annual grand car boot sale and flea market, one of the most popular events in the area between Cahors and Figeac. The event brings together between 100 and 200 private and professional exhibitors, making it one of the largest car boot sales in the rural villages of the Lot.

100 to 200 exhibitors at the Salle intercommunale

The ECCF car boot sale and flea market is held at the Salle intercommunale of Cénevières, 390 route de Calvignac, accessible from the Lot Valley. From 6 am to 6 pm, exhibitors set up their stalls in the indoor and outdoor areas of the site, offering their goods of all kinds. Private individuals clearing out their attics and professional antique dealers rub shoulders, offering a wide variety of items: antique furniture, tableware, clothing, books, toys, vinyl records, tools, decorations, and various curiosities. The exhibitor fee is €3 per linear meter, with very accessible pricing.

The ECCF, a football club and committed organizer

The Entente Cajarc-Cénevières Foot is a local football club that brings together players and supporters from the communes of Cajarc and Cénevières. The organization of the annual car boot sale is one of its main fundraising activities, allowing it to cover equipment, travel, and refereeing costs. By choosing to open this event at 6 am, the club facilitates access for early morning treasure hunters and professional dealers looking for the best items before the crowds arrive.

Cénevières and the Lot Valley

The Château de Cénevières, former residence of the bishops of Cahors, has overlooked the Lot Valley since the 12th century. It is open for visits during the summer season and offers an exceptional panorama of the river's meanders and the surrounding limestone cliffs. Visitors to the car boot sale can naturally extend their day with a visit to the castle or a walk along the Lot, in one of the most beautiful areas of the valley between Cahors and Figeac.
