Car boot sale Place de l'Église — Polignac

The Car Boot Sale in Place de l'Église in Polignac

Polignac is a village in Haute-Loire with an unforgettable silhouette: its medieval fortress, perched on a basalt spur overlooking the Puy plain, is one of the emblematic monuments of the Velay region. Every last Sunday of June, this exceptional historical setting hosts a large car boot sale that takes over the Place de l'Église and extends to the surrounding streets and squares.

150 exhibitors in a medieval setting

Around 150 private and professional exhibitors set up from 7 am in the Place de l'Église, Place Princesse de Polignac, rue des Écoles, and adjacent parking areas. For ten hours, from 7 am to 5 pm, they offer a profusion of items: old tableware, tools, clothing, books, toys, trinkets, furniture, and various curiosities. Early bird visitors and late strollers can wander at their own pace through the market aisles, just a stone's throw from the Polignac fortress.

A popular and free event

The car boot sale in Place de l'Église is a completely free event for visitors. Exhibitor registration is done by phone, on a first-come, first-served basis, and pitches are assigned in different sectors of the village. The event is particularly well-organized, with exhibitors welcomed from 6 am and closing at 5 pm allowing for quiet packing up at the end of the day.

Polignac and its castle, the setting for the car boot sale

The proximity of the medieval fortress gives this car boot sale a unique charm. Passing visitors, tourists attracted by the monument, and local residents mingle with bargain hunters for a day of summer strolls that are both cultural and convivial. This late June car boot sale is one of the highlights of the Polignac festive calendar, reflecting the associative dynamism of this charming village in the Pays du Puy.
