Car boot sale of the Fête de La Pesse

The La Pesse festival car boot sale

Every year, on the first weekend of September, the village of La Pesse celebrates its communal festival. The car boot sale is one of the highlights, bringing together private sellers in the village streets. Bargain hunters browse the stalls in search of good deals in an exceptional mountain setting, at over 1,100 meters altitude.

La Pesse, a village in the Haut-Jura

La Pesse is a village located at 1,100 meters altitude in the Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park. Known for its Nordic ski resort and its landscapes of valleys and forests, the commune offers a remarkable natural setting all year round. In summer and autumn, hikers and mountain bikers replace cross-country skiers on the trails. The La Pesse valley, nestled between wooded ridges, creates a cool microclimate even in summer. The car boot sale during the village festival is an opportunity to discover this authentic Haut-Jura village.

A lively village festival

The La Pesse festival is not limited to the car boot sale. The program includes games for children and adults, pétanque competitions, street entertainment, and an evening dance. Refreshments and food are available on-site, often featuring Jura mountain specialties, allowing for a full day in the village. The atmosphere is warm and family-friendly, typical of Haut-Jura village festivals.

Tips for bargain hunters

At altitude, September mornings can be cool: bring a warm jacket. Stall space costs €2 per linear meter for sellers, and parking is reserved away from the site. Entry is free for visitors. Arrive early to enjoy the best finds and the morning atmosphere of this mountain village.
