Annual car boot sale and clothes swap at Lac aux Ramiers, organized by the Association Soleil Pays de Vernoux
The Car boot sale and Clothes swap of Vernoux-en-Vivarais is an annual event organized in April by the Association Soleil Pays de Vernoux. Located by the Lac aux Ramiers, this festive and solidarity-based gathering combines a traditional car boot sale and a clothes swap, allowing the inhabitants of the Pays de Vernoux to sell objects, clothes, and accessories in a pleasant natural setting. Entry is free for visitors.
Each year in April, the edge of the Lac aux Ramiers in Vernoux-en-Vivarais transforms into a large second-hand market. The Car boot sale and Clothes swap of Vernoux-en-Vivarais, organized by the Association Soleil Pays de Vernoux, brings together private sellers and visitors in a friendly and solidarity-filled atmosphere, characteristic of the associative spirit of Vivarais.
The Association Soleil Pays de Vernoux, headquartered at Chemin des Sablières in Vernoux-en-Vivarais, works to create social connections, develop intergenerational exchanges of knowledge and materials, and promote solidarity and mutual aid in the Pays de Vernoux territory. The organization of this annual car boot sale is fully in line with this mission: to allow residents to give a second life to objects, clothes, and accessories, while coming together in an exceptional natural setting.
The uniqueness of this event lies in the combination of a classic car boot sale — everyday objects, books, toys, crockery, knick-knacks — with a clothes swap dedicated to clothing, shoes, and fashion accessories. This dual formula attracts a diverse audience, from bargain hunters to sustainable fashion enthusiasts, who are keen to consume more responsibly.
The Lac aux Ramiers site offers a green and peaceful setting for this event. This body of water located on the outskirts of Vernoux-en-Vivarais is a popular destination for families in Ardèche for outdoor recreation. Holding the car boot sale here gives it a particularly pleasant atmosphere, blending nature and conviviality, which is very representative of the Ardèche way of life.
Vernoux-en-Vivarais is a town in Haut-Vivarais located in Ardèche (07240), between the Rhône plain and the high plateaus of the Massif Central. Perched at an altitude of about 600 meters on the foothills of Vivarais, the commune is the center of life for the Pays de Vernoux, a rural territory with landscapes of chestnut trees, meadows, and rivers. Its geographical location, halfway between Valence and Privas, makes it a focal point for the inhabitants of the surrounding villages.
This rural context and the local associative vitality make the Association Soleil's annual car boot sale an anticipated event, contributing to the social and cultural life of the Pays de Vernoux in the heart of the Ardèche spring.
The Car boot sale and Clothes swap of Vernoux-en-Vivarais returns on April 26, 2026, at Lac aux Ramiers. Organized by the Association Soleil Pays de Vernoux, this annual event offers a car boot sale and clothes swap in a natural setting. Free entry.
