Car Boot Sale by the Dordogne — Mézels Patrimoine et Mémoire

The Mézels Patrimoine et Mémoire car boot sale, along the Dordogne

The association Mézels Patrimoine et Mémoire organizes a car boot sale each year in a unique natural setting: by the Dordogne, on the Route des Granges de Mézels, between the rugby field and the river. This exceptional site makes this event a doubly pleasant day: one for treasure hunting and one for relaxing by the water.

A remarkable site between rugby and the Dordogne

The location chosen for this car boot sale is particularly remarkable. Set up between the Vayrac rugby field and the banks of the Dordogne, the event benefits from a rare geographical position, with direct access to the riverbanks. Exhibitors set up their stalls on this green space, and visitors can alternate between discovering bargains and relaxing by the water.

50 to 100 private and professional exhibitors

The car boot sale hosts between 50 and 100 exhibitors, whether they are individuals looking to clear out their attics or professional dealers. This diversity is reflected in the items offered: antique and country furniture, crockery, tools, books, clothing, toys, and collectibles are found alongside the more specialized offerings of seasoned dealers. Entry is free for visitors.

Catering and summer pleasures

A refreshment stand and a food truck (notably Les Burgers de Sam in recent editions) allow visitors to eat on site. A picnic area is available, and access to the Dordogne beach invites visitors to extend their day by the river after their treasure hunt. This combination of pleasure, relaxation, and nature makes the Mézels Patrimoine et Mémoire car boot sale a highly appreciated event by families in the area.

The Mézels Patrimoine et Mémoire association

The Mézels Patrimoine et Mémoire association works for the preservation and enhancement of the local heritage of the hamlet of Mézels, located in the commune of Vayrac. Its annual car boot sale is both a source of funding for its activities and a unifying event for the local community and lovers of the Dordogne.
