Car boot sale of La Rivière-de-Corps

Two car boot sales per year in La Rivière-de-Corps

La Rivière-de-Corps is a commune in the Troyes agglomeration (postal code 10440), located in the immediate vicinity of Troyes, the prefecture of the Aube. This central position allows it to benefit from a large population base, which partly explains the holding of two annual editions of its car boot sale: one in April, the other in September.

The commune takes its name from the Seine, whose arms and meanders irrigate this sector of the Troyes plain. La Rivière-de-Corps borders Troyes and is part of the agglomeration community which groups the central city and its surrounding communes.

The April edition: the awakening of spring

The April car boot sale is an opportunity to take advantage of the return of good weather. After the winter months, exhibitors bring out their items and bargain hunters resume their habits. The spring edition is often synonymous with garden furniture, tools, seasonal clothing, and everything that was put away during the winter. The fresh air of the Champagne spring and the soft April light create a pleasant atmosphere for strolling between the stalls.

The September edition: the bargain hunters' return

After the summer holidays, the September edition marks the start of the flea market season. Exhibitors who took advantage of the summer to sort through their belongings bring many items to the stalls. Visitors, rested and ready to resume their favorite activities, form an enthusiastic audience. The late Champagne season, with its still sunny days and cool evenings, offers a pleasant setting for this autumn edition.

What can be found at the car boot sales

The exhibitors in La Rivière-de-Corps are individuals who offer a wide variety of items: furniture, tableware, clothing, toys, books, tools, household appliances, and decorative objects. The proximity to Troyes, a historic city with a Renaissance textile heritage, may lead one to hope for some interesting textile finds among the clothing lots.

The proximity of Troyes and its attractions

La Rivière-de-Corps is located a few minutes from the historic center of Troyes, a classified city renowned for its half-timbered houses, its stained glass windows, and its fashion outlets. Visitors to the car boot sale can easily combine their bargain hunting day with a visit to the Saint-Pierre-et-Saint-Paul Cathedral, the Museum of Modern Art, or the medieval district of Troyes. This complementarity makes La Rivière-de-Corps an ideal starting point for a day full of discoveries.
