Car boot sale of Châteauneuf-Val-Saint-Donat

The car boot sale of Châteauneuf-Val-Saint-Donat

The Comité des fêtes of Châteauneuf-Val-Saint-Donat organizes a car boot sale every May 1st at the municipal stadium. This rural village in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, located between Sisteron and Château-Arnoux-Saint-Auban, takes advantage of the public holiday to bring residents together around this popular tradition.

May 1st, a day for treasure hunting

May 1st is traditionally a good day for car boot sales in France. In Châteauneuf-Val-Saint-Donat, families take advantage of this day off to clear out attics and cellars, offering bargain hunters a variety of second-hand items: clothes, toys, dishes, tools, and trinkets.

A village in the Val de Durance

Châteauneuf-Val-Saint-Donat is a small village perched on a hill overlooking the Durance valley. Its Romanesque priory, dedicated to Saint Donat, is a 12th-century architectural gem. The village retains an authentic rural character, with its stone houses and surrounding lavender fields.

At the municipal stadium

The municipal stadium offers an outdoor space suitable for the car boot sale, with the possibility of parking your vehicle next to your stall. The rate of 10 euros for 5 meters with a vehicle is affordable. The event takes place from 6 am to 4 pm.
