The Pétanque Sougycoise car boot sale in Sougy

Sougy, a village in Beauce loirétaine in the Loiret department, hosts its annual car boot sale every June, organized by the local pétanque club, Pétanque Sougycoise. This popular sporting event brings together villagers and visitors from surrounding towns for a friendly second-hand day.

The car boot sale supporting local sport

Organizing a car boot sale by a pétanque club is a common initiative in rural villages in France. For Pétanque Sougycoise, this annual event is an important source of funding: pitch rental fees help cover competition registration costs, ground maintenance, team travel, and the organization of local competitions.

The car boot sale also has a strong social dimension: it creates bonds between club members, village residents, and external visitors. Pétanque and second-hand shopping share a common taste for conviviality and informal exchanges.
