The Car boot Sale Laferté en Fête of Laferté-sur-Aube

The Car boot Sale Laferté en Fête of Laferté-sur-Aube (52120) is one of the popular events of this medieval village located at the borders of Haute-Marne and Aube. Organized on the Place du Château, it is part of the local festivities that liven up Laferté during the summer, in a remarkable heritage site dominated by the remains of the former seignorial castle.

Laferté-sur-Aube is a commune in the canton of Clefmont, in the southeast of Haute-Marne. The village developed at the foot of a medieval castle, of which significant remains still exist, overlooking the Aube valley from a rocky outcrop. The river Aube, which gives its name to the village, rises a few tens of kilometers upstream, on the Langres plateau. This picturesque setting makes it a village appreciated by walkers and heritage enthusiasts.

The Place du Château is naturally the historic heart of Laferté. Dominated by the ruins of the castle and surrounded by characterful houses, it provides an exceptional setting for a summer car boot sale. Exhibitors set up their stalls in the square, creating a colorful animation that contrasts pleasantly with the ancient stone of the surrounding walls.

The car boot sale offers a classic selection of second-hand items: crockery, books, clothes, furniture, and trinkets are displayed alongside agricultural and artisanal objects typical of this rural area. The festive atmosphere that accompanies the event — concerts, entertainment, catering — makes it a full day, ideal for families.
