The Les Trois Soleils Car Boot Sale: Sunshine and Bargains in Dieulefit

Every June, the association Les Trois Soleils organizes its annual car boot sale in Dieulefit, a Drôme town with a strong identity located in the Val de Jabron, at the confluence of Alpine and Provençal influences. This friendly event brings together private sellers and bargain hunters from the region for a day of second-hand shopping under the Drôme sun.

Dieulefit, City of Potters and Light

Dieulefit — whose name poetically evokes divine light — is a town of about 3,000 inhabitants nestled in a landscape of wooded hills and green valleys. It is world-renowned for its tradition of art pottery and ceramics, inherited from the 19th century: its pottery workshops, located in the artisan quarter, perpetuate exceptional know-how and attract collectors and art lovers from all over France. The town is also known for its past as a place of refuge during World War II, where many Jewish refugees found protection.

The Les Trois Soleils Association

The association Les Trois Soleils is a local organization whose annual car boot sale is one of the highlights of the Dieulefit associative calendar. Through this event, the association contributes to the animation of local life, the development of the circular economy, and the strengthening of social bonds between residents. The profits from the event help finance the projects and activities carried out by the association throughout the year.

June in Dieulefit: The Ideal Time for Bargain Hunting

After the car boot sale, visitors can extend their day by discovering the pottery workshops in the artisan quarter, the medieval streets of the old town, and the hiking trails that wind through the surrounding hills.
