Car boot sale and Flea market of Séniergues

Car Boot Sale and Flea Market in Séniergues

Séniergues is a village in the Lot (46240) with many historical facets. Mentioned since the 12th century, the village became a bastide around 1291, under the authority of King Edward I of England, before officially separating from Montfaucon (a neighboring commune) only in the 1930s. Located on the Causse de Gramat, in the Parc naturel régional des Causses du Quercy, it offers an exceptional natural and historical setting for festive events.

August 15th, a Festive Day of Treasure Hunting

Every year, on the occasion of the Assumption public holiday on August 15th, Séniergues livens up its Place Noël Poujade with a car boot sale and a flea market. Exhibitors - individuals and amateur dealers - set up from 8 a.m. to offer their finds: clothes, books, crockery, antique objects, tools, and trinkets. The day ends beautifully with a popular dance at 9:30 p.m., with David Firmin in 2024, animating the evening and concluding the celebration.

A Charming Village on the Causse

The Saint-Martin church of Séniergues, classified as a Historic Monument, dates from the 12th century and underwent modifications in the 14th and 15th centuries. The village is part of the Parc naturel régional des Causses du Quercy, a remarkable territory for its dry grassland landscapes, its dolmens, and its lavognes (watering ponds). Nearby, the Céou river offers opportunities for swimming and hiking.
