Comité des Fêtes d'Escalquens Car Boot Sale

The Escalquens Car Boot Sale

Every year in May, the Comité des Fêtes d'Escalquens organizes its annual car boot sale on the Place de l'Enclos, in the heart of the village. This spring event attracts bargain hunters and families from the southeastern area of the Toulouse agglomeration, who come to browse the stalls in search of good deals in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere.

Place de l'Enclos, the heart of the village

The Place de l'Enclos is the emblematic square of Escalquens, the central point of the village around which local life is organized. For the car boot sale, stalls are set up on the square and in the adjacent streets, creating a pleasant walking route. The offerings are varied and typical of a suburban car boot sale: clothing, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, small appliances, tools, occasional furniture, and decorative objects.

The Comité des Fêtes, a pillar of local entertainment

The Comité des Fêtes d'Escalquens is a dynamic association that enlivens the town throughout the year. The May car boot sale is one of its flagship events, alongside the local festival and various other activities. The committee's volunteers ensure the welcome of exhibitors, the management of pitches, and the smooth running of the day. Registration is done through the committee, reachable by email at [email protected] or [email protected].

Escalquens, between Toulouse and Lauragais

Escalquens is a town of about 7,000 inhabitants located east of Toulouse, on the road to Lauragais. It benefits from a privileged geographical location, between the metropolis and the hills of Lauragais, offering a sought-after living environment. Local associations are active, supported by structures like the Comité des Fêtes. The car boot sale contributes to local dynamism by attracting visitors from all over the area, from Castanet-Tolosan to Labège, including Ramonville.
