Car boot sale of the Apple Festival of Mauriac

The apple and bargain hunting in the Cantal region

Every autumn, the hamlet of Crouzit-Haut, perched on the heights of Mauriac, hosts the Apple Festival, a warm and authentic village festival. As part of this event, a car boot sale is organized, allowing visitors to combine the pleasure of bargain hunting with the discovery of Cantal's fruit traditions. This double event embodies the spirit of Cantal's rural festivals: friendliness, authenticity, and attachment to the land.

A festive and gourmet program

The Apple Festival of Mauriac is not limited to the car boot sale. The day's program traditionally includes traditional apple pressing, tastings of fresh apple juice and local specialties, as well as a country meal prepared by the festival committee volunteers. The car boot sale naturally fits into this festive atmosphere, offering visitors an additional activity between gourmet breaks.

A lasting tradition

The Apple Festival of Crouzit-Haut celebrated its 23rd edition in 2024, demonstrating the vitality of this local tradition. Led by the Crouzit-Haut festival committee and its dedicated volunteers, this event has retained a family audience from all over the Mauriac region. The car boot sale, added to the program over the years, has become an integral part of the festival.

Crouzit-Haut and the Mauriac region

The hamlet of Crouzit-Haut, located in the commune of Mauriac, is a typical hamlet in the Cantal landscape, between green meadows and forests.
