The green surroundings and the panorama make this car boot sale a unique experience in the Bordeaux metropolitan area.

The Château des Iris and its Remarkable Park

The Château des Iris is a 19th-century bourgeois residence surrounded by a landscaped park of several hectares. Owned by the city of Lormont, the estate is open to the public and is one of the green lungs of the right bank. The Chemin des Iris, which leads to the château, passes through a quiet, wooded environment. The park features remarkable trees, flowerbeds, and shaded paths that invite leisurely strolls. It is an ideal location for an open-air car boot sale, away from the urban hustle and bustle.

Lormont, a Balcony over the Garonne

Lormont is a commune of over 22,000 inhabitants, located on the right bank of the Garonne, north of Cenon. Dominated by the Pont d'Aquitaine, it benefits from a remarkable geographical position with its hillsides overlooking the river. Lormont has undergone significant urban renewal in recent years, with the rehabilitation of its neighborhoods and the development of its green spaces. The car boot sale at Parc du Château des Iris is part of this dynamic and contributes to the vibrancy of local life.
