Car boot sale of the Vines

Car boot sale of the Vines

The Car boot sale of the Vines takes place every May at the Bateliers parking, in the hamlet of Les Vignes, in the commune of Massegros Causses Gorges (48500). This car boot sale marks the beginning of the tourist season in this emblematic location of the Tarn gorges.

The Bateliers parking, located on the banks of the Tarn, is the starting point for many water activities in the gorges (canoeing, kayaking, whitewater swimming). It is also a must-see spot for hikers and tourists exploring the Tarn gorges in May. The car boot sale takes advantage of this influx to bring together local exhibitors and visitors in a relaxed atmosphere.

Exhibitors can register by contacting the town hall at 04 66 48 88 08. The event may be accompanied by a tripoux meal, a local specialty, served from 8 am at the communal hall.

Les Vignes and the Tarn Gorges

The hamlet of Les Vignes is one of the most picturesque villages in the commune of Massegros Causses Gorges, created in 2017 from the merger of several communes around Massegros. Nestled at the bottom of the Tarn gorges, framed by the limestone cliffs of the causses, this hamlet is one of the most beautiful entry points into this renowned canyon. The commune extends between the Causse de Sauveterre and the Causse Méjean, two high limestone plateaus separated by the Tarn river.
