Car boot sale and garage sale in Villecomtal-sur-Arros

The Firefighters Museum of Villecomtal-sur-Arros organizes every end of June a car boot sale and garage sale in the center of the village. This original event combines the traditional flea market with a "garage" section, allowing exhibitors to offer tools, car and motorcycle spare parts, bicycles, DIY equipment, and mechanical accessories in addition to classic car boot sale items.

A double concept: attic and garage

The car boot sale offers the usual range of clothing, toys, dishes, trinkets, books, and second-hand furniture. The garage sale adds a technical dimension with hand and power tools, car and motorcycle parts, bicycles, DIY accessories, and various materials. This double concept attracts both classic bargain hunters and DIY enthusiasts, amateur mechanics, and vehicle collectors.

For the benefit of the Firefighters Museum

The profits from the event support the Firefighters Museum of Villecomtal-sur-Arros, a place of memory dedicated to the history of firefighting and civil security. The museum preserves old vehicles, uniforms, helmets, rescue equipment, and documents tracing the evolution of the firefighter profession. By participating in the car boot sale, visitors contribute to the preservation of this remarkable heritage.

Villecomtal-sur-Arros, a bastide in the Arros valley

Villecomtal-sur-Arros (32730) is a medieval bastide founded in the 13th century, located in the Arros valley, between Mirande and Rabastens-de-Bigorre. The village preserves the remains of its castle, its church, and its narrow streets typical of Gascon bastides. The Arros valley offers a green landscape of meadows, woods, and hillsides, at the foot of the first Pyrenean foothills.

An end-of-June event

Scheduled for the end of June, the Villecomtal car boot sale and garage sale takes advantage of the beginning of summer to attract a large public. Exhibitors set up in the center of the village at a rate of 2 euros per linear meter, and admission is free for visitors. It's the ideal opportunity to combine bargain hunting with the discovery of a characterful Gascon bastide and an original museum.
