Car Boot Sale Flea Market Générations Mouvement

The Générations Mouvement Car Boot Sale in Castelnau-Montratier

Générations Mouvement, an associative movement that supports active seniors in their personal and social fulfillment, organizes an annual car boot sale flea market on the Place du Foirail in Castelnau-Montratier. This medieval fortified town in Quercy Blanc, perched on its promontory with 360° panoramas of the surrounding hills, offers an exceptional setting for this friendly event open to all.

A Flea Market on the Place du Foirail

The Place du Foirail is the historic site of Castelnau-Montratier's major fairs. A vast open space in the heart of the fortified town, it once hosted livestock markets that contributed to the town's commercial renown. Today, it is ideally suited for popular events like this car boot sale, offering ample space to set up exhibitors' stalls and allow visitors to browse.

Flea Market, Clothes, and Toys for the Whole Family

The event offers a wide range of goods: traditional flea market items with trinkets, furniture, and antique objects, as well as second-hand clothes for adults and children, and toys of all kinds. This diversity attracts a varied family audience, from collectors to parents looking for bargains for their children. With a 5th edition organized in recent years, the event has found its rhythm and built a loyal regular audience.

Générations Mouvement, a Movement for Active Seniors

Générations Mouvement (formerly CNRPA) is a national federation present throughout the Lot department. The Lot branch regularly organizes activities, outings, and events for its senior members, including this annual car boot sale which combines volunteer commitment and local community engagement. The proceeds help finance the local branch's activities.

Food and Camaraderie

The refreshment stand offers crêpes, ice cream, and drinks throughout the day, creating a convivial hub where exhibitors and visitors can gather. The warm atmosphere and the welcome from the association's volunteers make this car boot sale an event appreciated far beyond Castelnau-Montratier and Quercy Blanc.
