Car boot sale of the Gimone at Saint-Blancard

The Gimone Car Boot Sale at Saint-Blancard Lake

From July to December, the village of Saint-Blancard (32140) hosts a monthly car boot sale by the Gimone lake. Organized by the Association du Château de Saint-Blancard, this regular event has become a must-see for bargain hunters in the south of Gers, offering an exceptional natural setting for treasure hunting and strolling.

An Exceptional Natural Setting by the Lake

The Gimone lake is a body of water located at the foot of the village of Saint-Blancard, surrounded by greenery and hills. This bucolic setting gives the car boot sale a special atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of large urban events. Stalls are set up along the banks and in designated areas, allowing visitors to combine bargain hunting with a walk by the water in a peaceful and green environment.

Indoor and Outdoor Pitches

The car boot sale offers two types of pitches: outdoors at €2 per linear meter and indoors at €3 per linear meter. This dual option allows exhibitors to choose according to the weather and the nature of their items. Covered spaces are particularly appreciated for autumn and winter editions, protecting fragile items and visitors from the elements.

The Association du Château, Guardian of Heritage

The Château de Saint-Blancard is a remarkable building in the Gimone valley, whose conservation and enhancement are ensured by the association of the same name. By organizing this monthly car boot sale, the association contributes both to the animation of the town and to the financing of its heritage activities. Volunteers ensure the welcome of exhibitors and visitors in a spirit of conviviality.

Six Months of Bargain Hunting Through the Seasons

The program of six monthly editions, from July to December, offers bargain hunters a regular meeting that evolves with the seasons. Summer editions benefit from the enchanting lakeside setting under the Gascon sun, while autumn and winter editions take on the air of a Christmas market with decorative items and gift ideas. Each month brings its share of surprises and finds.
