Car Boot Sale of the Firefighters of Châtillon-sur-Seine

The Firefighters' Car Boot Sale: A Summer Charity Event in Châtillon-sur-Seine

Every summer, the Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers de Châtillon-sur-Seine organizes a large car boot sale that brings together the inhabitants of the Châtillonnais region and passing visitors. This friendly event, combining a car boot sale and crafts, has become a must-attend summer event in this sub-prefecture of northern Côte-d'Or, in the heart of the nascent Seine valley.

Activities for the Whole Family

Beyond the car boot sale stands where you can find trinkets, toys, clothes, crockery, and various objects, the day is punctuated by activities for children and a craft area. The refreshments and food offered by the firefighters allow you to eat on site in a relaxed and family atmosphere. The profits from the event contribute to the financing of the Amicale's activities.

Châtillon-sur-Seine, City of the Vix Vase

A sub-prefecture of Côte-d'Or, Châtillon-sur-Seine is famous for housing the Vase de Vix, a bronze crater from the 6th century BC exhibited at the Musée du Pays Châtillonnais. The town, crossed by the very young Seine river, offers remarkable heritage with the Saint-Vorles church, the Douix spring (a Vauclusian resurgence), and the castle ruins. The firefighters' car boot sale is the ideal opportunity to discover this charming Burgundian town.

An Event for the Benefit of the Amicale

By supporting this event, visitors and exhibitors participate in the associative life of the volunteer firefighters, a pillar of civil security in rural areas. The Amicale uses the funds raised to finance its social activities, equipment, and outings, thus strengthening cohesion within the Châtillon-sur-Seine rescue center.
