Car boot sale in the streets of Méricourt
The car boot sale of Méricourt takes place in the streets of this town in the mining basin, between Lens and Hénin-Beaumont. This spring event brings together the inhabitants of this former mining town around various stalls of second-hand items, in a spirit of conviviality and sharing typical of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region.
Méricourt, a working-class town in the Lens mining basin, organizes its annual car boot sale in its streets. Individuals sell toys, clothes, dishes, books, trinkets, and small furniture in front of their homes. The atmosphere is that of a large, family-friendly, and accessible neighborhood street sale, where you can find bargains at low prices.
Méricourt is inseparable from the history of mining in the Pas-de-Calais. Its workers' housing estates, slag heaps, and pits bear witness to an industrial past inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The car boot sale perpetuates the spirit of solidarity and conviviality that characterizes these mining basin towns.
