Car boot sale of Hortes

Car boot sale of Hortes

The Car boot sale of Hortes (52210) is a summer event that enlivens this village in the National Forest Park of Haute-Marne every August. Located in this exceptional forest area, France's first lowland national park inaugurated in 2019, Hortes benefits from a remarkable natural setting that gives its annual flea market a particularly pleasant atmosphere.

Hortes is a commune in the canton of Langres-2, in this southwestern part of Haute-Marne that is an integral part of the National Forest Park. The landscape is dominated by deciduous forests – oaks, hornbeams, and beeches – that cover the plateaus and valleys of this preserved territory. The Aujon river flows through the commune, adding to the natural charm of the site.

The Hortes car boot sale is an authentic event, driven by village volunteers who wish to liven up their commune during the summer and offer exhibitors and visitors a friendly moment. The items offered reflect the richness of the Haute-Marne attics in this area: country furniture, old crockery, books, textiles, toys, and trinkets. The quality of the pieces available in the stone houses of the National Forest Park sometimes holds pleasant surprises.

The summer period is ideal for Hortes and its car boot sale: hikers, cyclists, and nature lovers exploring the National Forest Park can make a pleasant stop to hunt for treasures and eat. The refreshment stand run by the organizers allows for a full day in the village in the best atmosphere.

For all those visiting the National Forest Park between Haute-Marne and Côte-d'Or, the Hortes Car boot sale is a cultural and friendly stop not to be missed in this exceptional natural territory.
