Car boot sale FC Talence

The FC Talence car boot sale at the Château de Thouars

FC Talence, the town's football club, organizes an annual car boot sale every May on the esplanade of the Château de Thouars. This vast area, located in front of the 18th-century Carthusian monastery facade, offers a prestigious and spacious setting for private sellers. You can find clothes, toys, books, second-hand sports equipment, crockery, and various items at low prices. The FC Talence car boot sale is one of the most anticipated events of the spring in the town.

FC Talence, a training club

FC Talence is an amateur football club that focuses on youth training. The club welcomes hundreds of members, from the youngest to seniors, and participates in departmental and regional championships. The car boot sale is one of the club's fundraising methods: the proceeds help purchase equipment, finance travel, and maintain affordable membership fees. Volunteers (parents, coaches, managers) mobilize to ensure the event's organization.

The Château esplanade, an exceptional setting

The esplanade of the Château de Thouars is an open and clear space, surrounded by the castle's landscaped park. The century-old trees, manicured lawns, and the Carthusian monastery facade create an enchanting backdrop for this event. Visitors enjoy browsing for treasures while taking in the beauty of the location. The club's refreshment stand, set up under a marquee, offers cold drinks, sandwiches, and grilled items. Entry is free, and the event is open to everyone.
