Car boot sale and Flea Market of Saint-Michel-de-Bannières

The Saint-Michel-de-Bannières Car Boot Sale and Flea Market, between Dordogne and Causse

Saint-Michel-de-Bannières (46110) is a peaceful village in the Dordogne valley, in the Lot. Located between Souillac and Martel, this rural town belongs to a region of great heritage and natural richness, near Carennac, Loubressac, Autoire, and Rocamadour. Every year, the village comes alive for its car boot sale and flea market, organized in conjunction with the patronal festival, one of the most anticipated events in the commune.

A Hundred Exhibitors in the Church Square

The church square of Saint-Michel-de-Bannières hosts about a hundred exhibitors, including private individuals wanting to clear out their attics and professional antique dealers offering their finest finds. You can find everything: clothes, books, crockery, country furniture, old everyday objects, trinkets, and various curiosities. The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, typical of this Quercy village attached to its traditions.

Entertainment and Patronal Festival as a Complement

The day is enhanced with various entertainment: balloon sculptures for children, fairground attractions, and shows. The connection with the patronal festival gives the event a special festive dimension, with musical performances and entertainment throughout the day. Catering and refreshments are available on-site, allowing visitors to spend the entire day in the village.

An Exceptional Natural Setting

Saint-Michel-de-Bannières is surrounded by typical landscapes of the Quercy Dordogne valley: limestone cliffs, chestnut groves, vineyards, and meadows. Visitors to the car boot sale will gladly take the opportunity to explore the surroundings: the Gouffre de Padirac a few kilometers away, the villages of Carennac and Loubressac classified among the most beautiful in France, or the Château de Castelnau-Bretenoux. This is one of the advantages of these rural car boot sales: they invite you to discover a territory.
