Car boot sale and Flower Market of Foncine-le-Bas

The car boot sale and flower market of Foncine-le-Bas

Every June, the village of Foncine-le-Bas, nestled in the upper valley of the Saine in the heart of the Haut-Jura, hosts an original event that combines a car boot sale and a flower market. On the Champ de Mars, flea market stalls stand alongside plant and flower stands, creating a unique and colorful atmosphere.

An original concept: flea market and garden

On one hand, exhibitors offer the contents of their attics: crockery, toys, books, clothes, and trinkets at low prices. On the other hand, nurserymen and horticulturists present their finest varieties of plants, flowers, and shrubs. This original combination attracts both flea market enthusiasts and gardening lovers, creating a diverse and enthusiastic audience.

Trout fishing and catering

The event is enhanced by an original activity: trout fishing in the Saine, a crystal-clear river that runs through the village. Children and Sunday anglers enjoy this activity with pleasure. A refreshment stand and a catering service complete the offering for a festive and gourmet day from 8 am to 6 pm.
