About Car boot sale APE Ornans
The APE d'Ornans car boot sale, an associative and family event
Every June, Place Courbet in Ornans hosts the car boot sale organized by the Association des Parents d'Élèves (APE) of the town's schools. On this emblematic square named after the great realist painter native to the town, individuals and families set up their stalls to sell clothes, toys, books, crockery, and various objects in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
A solidarity initiative for the benefit of students
The profits generated by the organization of the car boot sale are entirely reinvested in the educational projects and school trips of the Ornans schoolchildren. This annual event is part of the tradition of associative car boot sales in France: it allows people to clear out their attics and cellars, save money by buying second-hand, and contribute directly to the enrichment of local educational activities.
Place Courbet, a historic setting in the heart of Ornans
Ornans, nicknamed the "little Venice of Franche-Comté", is nestled in the Loue valley, 25 kilometers from Besançon. Its half-timbered houses suspended above the emerald waters of the river, its medieval streets, and the Musée Gustave Courbet make it one of the most beautiful towns in the Doubs. Place Courbet, in the heart of the historic center, offers a pleasant and lively setting for this family car boot sale, with numerous shops and cafes nearby.
How to participate?
Individuals wishing to exhibit can contact the APE d'Ornans to reserve their spot. The event exclusively welcomes individuals (no professionals). Children are welcome and entry is free for visitors.

2026 edition of the APE Ornans garage sale: no information available
No public source consulted in May 2026 (Association des Parents d'Élèves d'Ornans, Ornans town hall website, national flea market aggregators, local Franche-Comté press) mentions a 2026 edition of the garage sale organized by the APE of Ornans on Place Courbet. The date of June 1, 2026 displayed on this page corresponded to a provisional date based on historical periodicity (annual garage sale in June), without confirmation from the organizer.
Historical presentation of the APE Ornans garage sale
The APE Ornans garage sale would have been an annual associative event organized in June by the Association des Parents d'Élèves of Ornans schools. It was held on Place Courbet, an emblematic square in the historic center of the birthplace of painter Gustave Courbet. Like most APE garage sales, it exclusively welcomed individuals offering clothes, toys, books, crockery, and various objects to bargain hunters, with free entry for visitors. Profits were donated to educational projects and school trips for Ornans students.
