The La Roque-Gageac Car Boot Sale: Bargain Hunting by the Dordogne

Every year at the end of September, the Saint-Thomas twinning committee organizes a car boot sale in the village center of La Roque-Gageac, one of the most emblematic villages of the Périgord Noir. This end-of-season event attracts bargain hunters to a spectacular setting, between the golden cliff and the waters of the Dordogne.

La Roque-Gageac, a troglodytic village by the water

Listed among the most beautiful villages in France, La Roque-Gageac is a troglodytic village built against a high limestone cliff, facing the Dordogne. Its pale stone houses, topped with slate roofs, are reflected in the calm waters of the river. The village is famous for its exotic garden, where palm trees and banana trees grow sheltered by the cliff, and for its traditional flat-bottomed boats (gabares) that navigate the Dordogne. The exceptional sunshine of this south-facing site gives it a unique Mediterranean microclimate in Périgord.

The Saint-Thomas Twinning Committee

The Saint-Thomas twinning committee fosters cultural and friendly exchanges between La Roque-Gageac and its twin town. The car boot sale is one of its flagship events, helping to fund the committee's activities and strengthen ties between residents. Volunteers from the committee ensure the organization, the welcome of exhibitors, and the running of the refreshment stand and light catering.
