Car Boot Sale Flea Market Village Festival of Saint-Julien-aux-Bois

The Saint-Julien-aux-Bois Village Festival: Flea Market and Friendliness in Xaintrie

Every summer in July, the village of Saint-Julien-aux-Bois organizes its communal festival, a true local life event in Xaintrie corrézienne. The car boot sale and craft market take over the Place du Souvenir and adjacent streets, creating a lively village atmosphere where bargain hunters, artisans, and local producers mingle.

Car Boot Sale and Producers' Market

Around forty private exhibitors set up their stalls from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm to offer second-hand items, trinkets, clothing, and curiosities of all kinds. In parallel, a craft and local produce market showcases local know-how. The communal wood-fired oven is used to bake breads and sausages, a tradition that is the pride of Saint-Julien-aux-Bois and delights visitors' taste buds.

A Complete Village Festival

The event is not limited to the flea market: the Festival Committee orchestrates a full day of entertainment with refreshments, light catering, and activities for everyone. In the evening, the festival continues at the multi-purpose hall with a friendly meal followed by a musical show, all by reservation. Coffee is offered to exhibitors upon arrival, reflecting the welcoming spirit characteristic of these Corrèze villages.

Saint-Julien-aux-Bois, in the Heart of Xaintrie

Nestled in the green Xaintrie, between the gorges of the Dordogne and chestnut forests, Saint-Julien-aux-Bois offers an exceptional natural setting. The village is an ideal starting point for hiking to the Tours de Merle, an emblematic medieval site of the region, or for exploring the wild landscapes of this authentic and preserved Corrèze.
