Car boot sale of Celles

The Celles car boot sale: the May 1st tradition in Périgord Vert

Every May 1st, the Amicale Laïque de Celles organizes a car boot sale under the village hall and in the adjoining meadow, at 4 chemin de la Halle. This annual event brings together residents of Celles and surrounding communes for a day of bargain hunting in a rural setting, typical of the Périgord Vert.

A bucolic setting in the heart of the village

Celles is a rural commune located in the Dronne valley, between Ribérac and Brantôme, in the northwest of Dordogne. The village hall, the central point of the event, offers a covered space ideal for exhibitors, while the neighboring meadow allows for additional outdoor stands. The green setting and the tranquility of the place add to the charm of this May 1st.

An associative and popular event

The Amicale Laïque de Celles, an association rooted in local life, organizes this car boot sale in a spirit of conviviality and sharing. The refreshment stand and light catering on site allow visitors and exhibitors to eat throughout the day. The exhibitor fee is set at 2 euros per linear meter, making the event accessible to all.

The Dronne valley, a land of flea markets

Périgord Vert, with its picturesque villages and traditional markets, is a popular destination for car boot sale and flea market enthusiasts. Celles is part of this tradition by offering a moment of bargain hunting and meeting every May 1st, far from the hustle and bustle of large commercial events.
