Car boot sale and flower market of Cubzac-les-Ponts

Each spring, Cubzac-les-Ponts hosts a double event: a car boot sale and a flower market. Individual exhibitors set up their stalls to offer clothes, toys, books, tableware, trinkets, and various objects, while local nursery owners and horticulturists present plants, flowers, shrubs, and seeds. This original combination attracts a diverse audience, from bargain hunters to gardening enthusiasts.

Cubzac-les-Ponts, a crossroads between Bordelais and Libournais

Cubzac-les-Ponts is a commune of about 4,000 inhabitants located at the confluence of the Dordogne and the Garonne, halfway between Bordeaux and Libourne. The commune owes its name to the bridges that span the Dordogne since the 19th century, including the famous Eiffel bridge built by Gustave Eiffel in 1883. This strategic crossroads between Bordelais and Libournais makes it an ideal place for passage and meeting. The village overlooks the Dordogne valley and offers beautiful panoramas of the surrounding vineyards.

Spring, treasure hunting, and gardening

The combination of the car boot sale with the flower market creates a particularly pleasant spring atmosphere. The colors and scents of the flowers accompany the stroll between the stalls of second-hand items. The refreshment stand allows for a break between purchases. It's an opportunity to leave with finds and everything you need to beautify your garden.
