Car boot sale of Bailleau-Armenonville

The Car boot sale of Bailleau-Armenonville: treasure hunting in a Beauceron village

Every spring, Bailleau-Armenonville (28320) hosts its annual car boot sale in two complementary areas in the heart of the village: the church square and the space behind the community center. This event brings together about 85 private exhibitors for a friendly day of treasure hunting in this village in Eure-et-Loir, located between Chartres and Épernon.

A car boot sale in the heart of the village

The church square and the surroundings of the community center provide a pleasant setting for this annual event. Private individuals from surrounding towns offer the contents of their attics and cellars: adult and children's clothing, crockery and tableware, books and magazines, toys and games, knick-knacks and decorative objects, tools, and small furniture. The diversity of stalls delights treasure hunters who appreciate this type of human-scale market.

Bailleau-Armenonville, a village between Beauce and Hurepoix

Bailleau-Armenonville is a rural commune in Eure-et-Loir (28320), in the canton of Épernon. Located about twenty kilometers east of Chartres, this quiet village is situated at the junction between Beauce, Hurepoix, and the Drouette valley. Its territory is marked by the open landscapes of Beauce and some woodlands that soften the horizon. Like many villages in this region, Bailleau-Armenonville draws vitality from its local associations to animate its community life.

An associative event rooted in tradition

The car boot sale is part of a long tradition of popular events in the villages of Beauce. These events help create social connections between residents, give a second life to everyday objects, and animate rural communities that do not always have shops or cultural facilities. Entry is free for visitors.
