Every spring, usually in May, the Olmeto Animation Committee (CAO) organizes a day of car boot sale and flea market at the Baracci baths park. This green setting, which is both a spa resort and a living space for the commune of Olmeto, offers an ideal setting for this popular event that brings together treasure hunters, families, and curious visitors from the Sartenais-Valinco-Taravo region.
Along the park's paths, private exhibitors and a few professional antique dealers display their stalls of everyday items, forgotten treasures, clothing, books, toys, and curiosities of all kinds. It's the perfect opportunity to clear out your attic, find a rare piece, or simply spend a pleasant day outdoors in an authentic corner of Corsica.
Olmeto — Ulmetu in Corsican — is a village in the Sartenais region perched at an altitude of 320 meters, overlooking the Gulf of Valinco. Its spa resort, the Baracci baths, located in the plain below, is known for its sulphurous sodium waters and traditional treatments. The wooded park surrounding it is a place for walks and leisure for the inhabitants of the commune and its surroundings.
The commune of Olmeto, rich in remarkable history and heritage, is said to be the birthplace of Colomba Carabelli, the heroine of Prosper Mérimée's novel of the same name, according to local legend. The village retains an authentic historic center with its granite houses, parish church, and steep alleyways.
The CAO (Comité d'Animation d'Olmeto) is the association that animates the cultural and festive life of the commune throughout the year. In addition to the spring car boot sale, it organizes various events: musical evenings, traditional festivals, summer activities. The car boot sale is one of its flagship events in the first half of the year, bringing together the local community and visitors in a relaxed atmosphere.
Light refreshments are available on site, allowing you to eat while enjoying the day of treasure hunting. Entry is completely free for visitors. For exhibitors wishing to participate, information is available at 06 30 74 62 45.
