Car boot sale of Claret

Hunt for treasures in a Pic Saint-Loup village

Claret (34270), a wine village nestled in the hills of Pic Saint-Loup, about thirty kilometers north of Montpellier, hosts its spring car boot sale in a setting of scrubland and vineyards. Private sellers set up their stalls in the village and offer clothes, toys, books, tableware, trinkets, and decorative items at low prices. The atmosphere is village-like and warm, far from the coastal hustle and bustle.

Claret, vineyards and scrubland

Surrounded by fragrant scrubland planted with holm oaks and cistus, Claret is a wine village that produces red and rosé wines from the Pic Saint-Loup appellation, one of the most prestigious in Languedoc. The village retains a beautiful Romanesque church, shaded alleys, and a square where it is pleasant to linger. The Lamalou spring, nearby, offers a refreshing walk after treasure hunting. Claret embodies the art of living in this Montpellier hinterland, preserved from mass tourism.

A friendly spring Sunday

Entry is free for visitors. The car boot sale takes place outdoors, taking advantage of the mild Languedoc spring weather. It's an opportunity for residents of surrounding villages and Montpellier locals looking for the countryside to come together around the simple pleasure of treasure hunting and exchange.
