The Monpazier Car Boot Sale: treasure hunting under the arcades of a perfect bastide

The Place des Cornières in Monpazier is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful locations for a car boot sale in France. This 13th-century bastide, founded in 1284 by Edward I of England, has retained its original regular layout with unique perfection in Aquitaine. The central square, lined with arcades and old houses with golden stones, offers an incomparable setting for a day of treasure hunting.

The CLEM, engine of local animation

The CLEM (Comité des Loisirs et Entraide de Monpazier) organizes several car boot sales throughout the year on this emblematic square. The association, run by passionate volunteers, strives to keep this remarkable village alive by offering friendly and accessible events for everyone. Registration is by phone or email.

A variety of objects

Under the arcades and on the square, exhibitors offer a varied range of items: furniture, copper utensils, antique toys, old tools, fabrics, tableware, books, and trinkets. The price is €3 per meter, with options for corner locations (€10 for a half-corner, €20 for a corner). Table rental is available for €2.

Monpazier, the most beautiful bastide in Périgord

Monpazier is classified among the Most Beautiful Villages of France and is the best-preserved example of a medieval bastide in Périgord. Its cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, Gothic church, and old market hall make it a major tourist destination. The car boot sale is the perfect opportunity to discover this exceptional heritage while enjoying the pleasure of treasure hunting.
