Car boot sale of the Harvest of Sainte-Florence

The Car boot sale of the Harvest of Sainte-Florence

Every year in September, the village of Sainte-Florence (33350) hosts its Harvest Car boot sale, an event that coincides with the harvest period in the Libournais vineyards. Private sellers set up their stalls in the village center to offer a wide variety of second-hand items: clothes, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, small furniture, and decorative objects.

Sainte-Florence, a wine-growing village in Libournais

Sainte-Florence is a commune of about 400 inhabitants located in Libournais, about ten kilometers northeast of Libourne. The village is surrounded by vineyards of the Bordeaux and Bordeaux Supérieur appellations, in a landscape of hills and valleys characteristic of the right bank of Bordeaux. The village's Romanesque church and its stone winegrower houses bear witness to preserved rural heritage. In September, the harvest is in full swing, coloring the landscape with the activity of the harvesters among the rows of vines.

Bargain hunting to the rhythm of the harvest

The combination of the harvest period and the car boot sale gives this event a special charm. Visitors can enjoy the effervescent atmosphere of the harvest while hunting for bargains in the village streets. Entry is free and a refreshment stand allows you to taste local wines while enjoying the autumn atmosphere.
