Car boot sale of the Bouilleurs de Cru of Genevrières

Car boot sale of the Bouilleurs de Cru of Genevrières

In Genevrières (52500), a picturesque village in the south of Haute-Marne, the Bouilleurs de Cru organize their car boot sale every year in June. This association, whose name evokes the tradition of eau-de-vie distillers that once existed in rural areas, contributes to local life by animating the village for a festive day.

The car boot sale brings together private exhibitors who offer a fine selection of found objects, clothes of all sizes, books, records, and light furniture. The relaxed and friendly atmosphere of this open-air market makes it a popular event for locals and visitors passing through the area.

Genevrières is located not far from Fresnes-sur-Apance, in this southern Bassigny where bocage landscapes alternate with open fields. The village belongs to the catchment area of Bourbonne-les-Bains, the main spa town in Haute-Marne. This June car boot sale is the ideal opportunity to stop in this often overlooked but charming corner of Haute-Marne.

Volunteers provide drinks and food to make the day enjoyable. This type of associative initiative is valuable for maintaining social cohesion in the rural communities of Haute-Marne.
