The car boot sale l'Art dans le Pré is an original event that takes place every May in the park of Château Malartic in Gradignan. It is not a simple car boot sale: it is part of a larger event that combines contemporary art, art crafts, and car boot sale in a setting of great rural beauty. Private exhibitors set up their stalls among the trees in the park, offering clothing, toys, books, tableware, trinkets, and decorative items, while visual artists exhibit their works in the meadows and under the foliage.
Château Malartic is an 18th-century residence surrounded by a vast landscaped park, owned by the town of Gradignan. The park, which extends over several hectares, offers an exceptional bucolic setting with its century-old trees, rolling lawns, and shaded paths. It is a place highly appreciated by the residents of Gradignan for walks and cultural events. The l'Art dans le Pré car boot sale takes full advantage of this setting by arranging the stalls in the green spaces, creating a English garden atmosphere where one strolls between works of art and second-hand items.
The uniqueness of l'Art dans le Pré is to offer a global experience where treasure hunting blends with artistic discovery. Visitors can buy a second-hand book and then admire a contemporary sculpture, find a vintage trinket and then stop in front of an art installation. This hybridization between car boot sale and exhibition makes it a unique event in the Bordeaux metropolitan area. Admission is free and the atmosphere is family-friendly, with activities for children and catering on site.
