Flea Market and Car Boot Sale of Les Hôpitaux-Vieux: Bargain Hunting at 1,000 Meters Altitude

Les Hôpitaux-Vieux is a unique village in the Haut-Doubs, located at over 1,000 meters altitude on the plateau overlooking the Franco-Swiss border. This characterful village, whose history is linked to the presence of a medieval 'maison-Dieu' on the Compostela pilgrimage route, benefits from an exceptional natural setting: ancient fir forests, vast pastures, and views of Mont Suchet and Lake Saint-Point.

The annual car boot sale and flea market of Les Hôpitaux-Vieux offers a unique bargain hunting experience in this village with a preserved mountain atmosphere. Private sellers and antique dealers display furniture, tableware, clothing, antique objects, and curiosities in a postcard-perfect setting. The cool altitude (average of 1,040 m for the town hall) makes the bargain hunting day particularly pleasant even in the height of summer.
