Car boot sale of the Comité des Fêtes de Gidy (45)

The town of Gidy, located about fifteen kilometers northwest of Orléans, comes alive every June thanks to its car boot sale organized by the Comité des Fêtes. This well-established and popular annual event brings together sellers and visitors for a day of second-hand goods in a rural setting accessible from Orléans and neighboring towns.

Meticulous organization by the Comité des Fêtes

The Comité des Fêtes de Gidy is the driving force behind the festive and associative life of the town. Its annual car boot sale in June is one of the highlights of its calendar, mobilizing volunteers and local partners to offer sellers and visitors the best possible conditions. Prior registration by email ([email protected]) ensures optimal organization of pitches and harmonious distribution of stalls.

Pitches and prices for sellers

The price of pitches is set at €2.50 per linear meter, with a minimum of 5 meters for cars and 8 meters for caravans. This precise organization allows for professional reception of both individuals wanting to clear out their closets and flea market professionals offering their finds. Setup begins early in the morning to allow everyone to settle in before opening to visitors.

Gidy, a peri-urban town with a rural soul

Gidy is a charming town, at the crossroads between the outskirts of Orléans and the rural Beauce region. Its Comité des Fêtes works throughout the year to maintain this precious social link in a town that has experienced significant population growth. The June car boot sale is part of this dynamic: an event open to all, accessible, and which allows old and new residents to meet in a festive and relaxed setting.

A second-hand meeting point near Orléans

Second-hand enthusiasts from Orléans, Saran, Fleury-les-Aubrais, and the towns in the north of Loiret can easily access it for a day of treasure hunting in a more intimate setting than large urban sales. An ideal balance between accessibility and rural authenticity.
