Car boot sale of Collège Saint-Joseph de Lectoure

The Car Boot Sale of Collège Saint-Joseph in Lectoure

Each year in May, the Collège Saint-Joseph in Lectoure organizes a car boot sale for the benefit of its educational projects and school trips. This private educational institution, located on Rue Abbé Tournier in the heart of the medieval town, mobilizes students, parents, and teachers to offer a friendly and family event.

Lectoure, the antique dealers' town

Lectoure is a town perched on a rocky spur overlooking the Gers valley, renowned throughout France for its antique and flea market shops. Its medieval streets are home to many second-hand dealers, making the town a hub for lovers of old and vintage items. The car boot sale of Collège Saint-Joseph naturally fits into this strong cultural identity.

An event for education

The profits from this car boot sale are donated to the Collège Saint-Joseph to fund educational outings, school trips, and the purchase of educational materials. The Saint-Joseph school complex, which includes primary and secondary schools, is a dynamic institution that actively participates in the cultural and associative life of Lectoure.

A remarkable heritage setting

Lectoure offers an exceptional setting for this event. Visitors can extend their bargain hunting day by discovering the heritage of Lectoure: the Saint-Gervais-et-Saint-Protais cathedral, the archaeological museum with its famous taurobolic altars, the ramparts offering a 360-degree panorama of the Gascon countryside and the Pyrenees on a clear day.
