Car boot sale of the Chémery Festival Committee

The Chémery Car Boot Sale

The Chémery festival committee organizes its car boot sale every spring in the village center. This popular event allows residents from the commune and surrounding areas to sell and buy second-hand items, clothes, and bric-a-brac.

Chémery, a village in the wine-growing Sologne

Chémery is a charming village located in the wine-growing Sologne, between Contres and Cour-Cheverny. The village is renowned for its Renaissance castle, one of the little-known jewels of the Loire Valley. This heritage setting adds charm to this day of bargain hunting.

A Family Event

The Chémery car boot sale is above all a moment of village conviviality. Pitches are offered at a low price (around €4 for 2 meters), and the on-site refreshment stand allows visitors to extend their stay. An accessible and unpretentious event, just as we like them in Sologne.

Chémery Castle

Chémery boasts a little-known architectural treasure: its Renaissance castle, one of the secret jewels of the Loire Valley. Built in the 15th and 16th centuries, this castle with its round towers and imposing keep can be visited in the summer. The festival committee's car boot sale is held near this monument, adding a heritage dimension to this popular bargain hunting day.

The Wine-Growing Sologne

Chémery is located in the heart of the wine-growing Sologne, a transition zone between the forest Sologne and the Touraine vineyards. The wines of Cheverny and Cour-Cheverny (AOC) are produced a few kilometers away. This terroir area offers a varied landscape of vineyards, forests, and meadows, a pleasant setting for walks and discovering local heritage.

A Family Car Boot Sale

The Chémery car boot sale retains an authentically family and village spirit. The sellers are mainly individuals from the village and surrounding towns who are clearing out their attics, cellars, and cupboards. You can find children's toys, seasonal clothing, crockery, small appliances, books, and trinkets at very low prices. Fast food and refreshments are provided by the festival committee volunteers, who donate the profits to community events.
