Car boot sale Nocturne — Fay-la-Triouleyre (Queyrières)

The nocturnal car boot sale of Fay-la-Triouleyre

In the heights of the Queyrières plateau, the hamlet of Fay-la-Triouleyre is the scene, every June, of an event as original as it is appreciated: a nocturnal car boot sale held from 5 PM to 10 PM, transforming the evening into a friendly treasure hunting market. Far from the usual morning car boot sales, this offbeat format attracts a loyal and curious clientele, who come to enjoy the cool evening air and the special atmosphere of night markets.

An original and friendly format

The nocturnal car boot sale of Fay-la-Triouleyre begins in the late afternoon, when the evening light brings a warm and soft atmosphere to the stalls. Exhibitors set up from 5 PM and the event continues until 10 PM, allowing families and workers to participate even after their day. This evening format creates a different atmosphere, more intimate and festive, where exchanges between sellers and buyers take their time to flourish.

The exhibition fee is set at €1/m, accessible to all. Those wishing to have a stall must register before June 10th, allowing organizers to best prepare the site's organization and the welcome of participants.

The Barcelos food-truck

To accompany this festive evening, the Barcelos food-truck is present during the event. This fast and friendly catering allows everyone to eat on site, whether it's exhibitors having a long evening or visitors coming to hunt for treasures with family or friends. The general atmosphere then resembles a neighborhood or village event, where treasure hunting and conviviality naturally blend.

Queyrières and the volcanic plateau

Queyrières is a commune in the Mézenc massif, on the border of Ardèche and Haute-Loire, on high volcanic plateaus at over 1,000 meters altitude. Its hamlet of Fay-la-Triouleyre benefits from a preserved natural setting and an authentic rural atmosphere. The nocturnal car boot sale is one of the few summer events there, contributing to the animation of this discreet and endearing territory.
