19th Car boot sale of Montiéramey

The Montiéramey Car Boot Sale: a tradition of nearly twenty years

Reaching the 19th edition of a village car boot sale is an achievement worth highlighting. The Montiéramey car boot sale has become, over the years, a traditional fixture in local life, ingrained in the habits of the village residents and those from neighboring communities. Organized every year in June, it takes advantage of the good weather and the generous light of early summer to offer a pleasant day to all its participants.

Montiéramey is a village in the Aube department (postal code 10270) located near Lusigny-sur-Barse and the Forêt d'Orient Regional Natural Park. Its active community associations, particularly evident in the regular organization of this car boot sale, demonstrate the vitality of the local community.

An exceptional natural setting

The village of Montiéramey benefits from a prime location on the edge of the Forêt d'Orient Regional Natural Park. This natural park, created in 1970, covers over 70,000 hectares of forests, lakes, and wetlands. The three artificial lakes that make it up—Lac de la Forêt d'Orient, Lac du Temple, and Lac Amance—are living and recreational spaces for many residents of the Aube and surrounding departments.

This natural richness is an additional attraction for visitors to the car boot sale, who can combine their flea market day with a stroll along the lakes or in the forests of the regional natural park.

What to find at the Montiéramey car boot sale

The sellers at Montiéramey are individuals clearing out their attics and cellars to offer visitors a selection of various items. You can usually find: wooden furniture, antique tableware and kitchen utensils, linens, clothing for all ages, books and magazines, old toys and games, tools and agricultural equipment, decorative objects, and trinkets. Fans of Champagne flea markets also appreciate the presence of items related to the region's agricultural and forestry activities.

A village in eastern Aube

Montiéramey is located in the eastern part of the Aube department, in an area characterized by forests and wetlands. The commune is surrounded by landscapes typical of the wet Champagne region, with its oak and hornbeam forests, ponds, and meadows. This region, less populated than the Champagne plain, has retained an authentic rural character that is reflected in the atmosphere of its annual car boot sale.
