Car boot sale of the Sou des Écoles de La Bénisson-Dieu

A solidarity car boot sale in the shadow of the abbey

La Bénisson-Dieu, a small village in the north of the Loire nestled around its magnificent Cistercian abbey founded in the 12th century, hosts the car boot sale organized by the Sou des Écoles every spring. This parents' association, a pillar of local school life, organizes this event to fund outings, trips, and extracurricular activities for the children of the commune.

Bargain hunting in a characterful village

The exhibitors, mainly individuals, set up their stalls in the village center. You can find the classic range of items at a car boot sale: toys, clothes, crockery, books, trinkets, and small furniture. The exceptional setting of La Bénisson-Dieu, with its old golden stone buildings from the Brionnais region, adds undeniable charm to this day of bargain hunting.

A village between Roannais and Brionnais

Located between Roanne and Charlieu, a few kilometers from the Loire river, La Bénisson-Dieu benefits from a peaceful and green environment. The car boot sale is one of the village's flagship events, attracting residents from surrounding towns and tourists passing through this countryside in the north of the Loire.
