Car Boot Sale and Arts and Crafts Fair of Plaisance

Car Boot Sale and Arts and Crafts Fair in Plaisance-du-Gers

The association Les Enfants de l'Adour offers a double event every Pentecost in Plaisance-du-Gers: a car boot sale combined with an arts and crafts fair. From 9 am to 4 pm, visitors stroll between the flea market stalls and the artisans' stands, creating a unique experience that blends the pleasure of treasure hunting with the discovery of artisanal know-how.

An Arts and Crafts Fair in Gascogne

The arts and crafts fair brings together creator artisans from the region: ceramicists, potters, wood turners, blacksmiths, leather workers, textile designers, jewelers, and leather artisans. Each presents their creations and sometimes performs live demonstrations, allowing the public to discover ancestral and contemporary techniques. It's an opportunity to acquire unique pieces and meet passionate creators.

A Friendly Car Boot Sale

Alongside the fair, the car boot sale offers the classics of Gersois flea markets: clothing, toys, tableware, trinkets, books, furniture, and everyday objects. The fee of 2 euros per linear meter encourages the participation of many private exhibitors. Entry is free for visitors, who can move freely between the two areas.

Les Enfants de l'Adour, a Cultural Association

The association Les Enfants de l'Adour is committed to promoting culture and craftsmanship in the Armagnac-Adour region. By organizing this double event, it showcases local know-how while animating the bastide of Plaisance with a popular and accessible event.

Plaisance-du-Gers, a Bastide in the Arros Valley

Plaisance-du-Gers (32160) is a bastide founded in the 13th century in the Arros valley, in the heart of the Saint Mont vineyards. The town retains its regular layout, its church, and its half-timbered houses. Its proximity to the Madiran vineyards and the Pyrenean foothills makes it a territory rich in gastronomic and artisanal heritage, an ideal setting for an arts and crafts fair.
