Car boot sale of the Arènes du Crès

Car boot sale at the Arènes du Crès

In spring, the Arènes du Crès host a friendly car boot sale that brings together residents of the town and surrounding areas. Individuals set up their stalls in and around the arena, offering clothes, toys, books, trinkets, tableware, small furniture, and a thousand everyday items at bargain prices. The original setting of the arena, typical of villages in the south of France, gives the event a special charm.

Le Crès, a village that became a town

Le Crès has retained a number of identity markers from its village past, including its arena, which traditionally hosts bullfighting and festive events. Today, a residential town in the Montpellier metropolitan area, Le Crès has maintained a village spirit with its local festivals, markets, and community events. The arena car boot sale is part of this tradition of local entertainment.

A Sunday of bargain hunting in the sun

The atmosphere is resolutely family-friendly and relaxed. Children play among the stalls while adults rummage through boxes and crates in search of a good deal. A refreshment stand is usually provided by the organizers. The Arènes car boot sale is an excellent opportunity to enjoy a spring Sunday outdoors, between bargain hunting and conviviality.
