The May car boot sale, a festive opening to the season

The Car boot Sale of the Patronal Festival of Saint-Sulpice-le-Guérétois marks the opening of the flea market season in Creuse each year. Scheduled for May, as part of the three-day patronal festival, this car boot sale is distinct from the one held in August at the Espace Raymond Poulidor. It takes place at the Salle Polyvalente, place de la Lavandière, offering both indoor and outdoor spaces.

The Patronal Festival, three days of festivities

The patronal festival of Saint-Sulpice-le-Guérétois is a major event for this town of 2,000 inhabitants at the gates of Guéret. Over three days, the program combines a car boot sale on Saturday, a torchlight procession, fireworks, an outdoor dance, and a neon evening with a DJ. On Sunday, a parade goes through the village streets. The fairground carousel installed for the occasion delights families, reinforcing the popular and intergenerational nature of this village festival.
