Car boot sale of Capestang on the banks of the Canal du Midi

Treasure hunting by the Canal du Midi

The car boot sale of Capestang (34310) unfolds on the banks of the Canal du Midi, along boulevard Pasteur, in an exceptional setting listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Under the majestic shade of the centuries-old plane trees lining the canal, exhibitors set up their stalls to offer clothing, toys, furniture, books, crockery, trinkets, and objects of all kinds. This recurring event is considered one of the largest car boot sales in the Biterrois region, attracting hundreds of bargain hunters from Béziers, Narbonne, and throughout the south of Hérault.

Capestang, pearl of the Canal du Midi

Crossed by the Canal du Midi, a masterful work by Pierre-Paul Riquet completed in 1681, Capestang is a town of character overlooking the Capestang pond and the wine-growing plain. Its imposing Saint-Étienne collegiate church, whose unfinished Gothic choir testifies to immense architectural ambition, and its Archbishops of Narbonne castle with its exceptional medieval painted ceilings make Capestang a heritage gem. The canal port, with its moored barges and plane trees, provides the idyllic backdrop for this car boot sale, combining the pleasure of bargain hunting with the discovery of remarkable heritage.

A recurring event throughout the year

Several editions per year allow bargain hunters to regularly find this meeting point on the canal banks. The organizers ensure a fresh offering by welcoming new exhibitors at each session. The setting of boulevard Pasteur, with its wide, tree-lined avenues and proximity to the water, offers ideal conditions for strolling and hunting for treasures. Visitors can extend their visit with a walk along the canal or a discovery of Capestang's historic center.
