Car boot sale of the Association Mon Vilatge — Laramière

The Mon Vilatge car boot sale, an associative initiative in Laramière

The Mon Vilatge association, whose Occitan name simply means "My Village", is a local association that works to animate and enhance local life in Laramière, in Quercy Blanc. Its annual car boot sale is one of the highlights of its calendar of activities, bringing together residents and visitors for a day of friendly bargain hunting in the heart of the village.

Laramière, a village in Quercy Blanc off the beaten track

Laramière is a discreet village in Quercy Blanc, in the east of the Lot, near Limogne-en-Quercy and the border with Aveyron. This slightly out-of-the-way geographical position has allowed it to retain an authentic and preserved character. The surrounding causses, the sheep that populate them, and the white limestone buildings give the landscape a particular serenity, ideal for a car boot sale day away from the urban hustle and bustle.

The associative spirit of Mon Vilatge

The Mon Vilatge association perfectly embodies the associative commitment that characterizes the small rural communities of the Lot. Its volunteers, attached to their village and its conviviality, carefully organize this annual event to maintain and strengthen social ties between residents. The car boot sale is also a time for reunion for those who have left the village but return each summer.

A car boot sale in the village center

The car boot sale is held in the very center of Laramière, using the village square and its surroundings as an exhibition space. This village setting allows exhibitors to set up as close as possible to the historic heart and gives visitors the opportunity to stroll through the village streets between stalls. You can find the typical items of rural car boot sales: old tools, farm furniture, regional tableware, clothes, and local curiosities.

A day to discover Quercy Blanc

The day of the Laramière car boot sale is also an opportunity to discover Quercy Blanc and its surroundings. The limestone causses, the lavognes (natural ponds for herds), the dolmens, and the white stone villages constitute a remarkable natural and cultural heritage, to be explored on foot or by bike from Laramière.
