Car boot sale and Local Produce Market — La Chapelle-Bertin

The car boot sale and local produce market of La Chapelle-Bertin

La Chapelle-Bertin is a small village in Haute-Loire located in the canton of Sainte-Florine, on the borders of Livradois and Limagne. Every first Friday of August, the local association La Chapeloune organizes a festive day combining a car boot sale and a market of local produce, from 6 am to 6 pm, for an event that brings together residents and visitors around the double pleasure of treasure hunting and local flavors.

Two markets in one: flea market and local produce

The peculiarity of this event lies in its hybrid format combining a traditional car boot sale and a market of local producers. On one hand, flea market and car boot sale exhibitors offer their second-hand items: crockery, tools, books, clothes, and various curiosities. On the other hand, local producers present their cheeses, cured meats, honeys, jams, and other specialties from Haute-Loire. This original combination attracts a more diverse audience and creates a unique festive atmosphere.

Suitable pitches

The association La Chapeloune has planned 3x5 meter pitches, allowing each exhibitor to present their merchandise in good conditions. This standardized format facilitates organization and ensures consistency in the presentation of the stands. Flea market enthusiasts and producers thus have a suitable space to exhibit and sell their products.

La Chapeloune, a pillar association for local life

The association La Chapeloune plays a central role in the animation of La Chapelle-Bertin and its territory. Its voluntary commitment to organizing this car boot sale and local produce market demonstrates the importance of the associative fabric in the life of small rural communities in Haute-Loire. From setting up stands to welcoming exhibitors and visitors, the volunteers of La Chapeloune invest themselves to make this day a friendly and successful moment.
