Car boot sale and plant swap in Durnes

Car boot sale and plant swap in Durnes

Durnes is a commune in the Doubs department (postal code 25580) nestled on the Franche-Comté plateau, in a preserved environment of meadows and forests. Its spring car boot sale is distinguished by an originality appreciated by the locals: the combination of a plant swap allowing gardeners to exchange cuttings, seedlings, and various plants. This offers a double opportunity to find bargains, whether you are a treasure hunter or a garden enthusiast.

Swap, exchange, and conviviality

The Durnes plant swap operates on the principle of exchange: everyone can bring their garden surplus (vegetable seedlings, perennial flowers, herbs, shrubs) to offer to other participants. This system fosters encounters between gardeners and allows for diversifying one's flowerbeds at a lower cost. Some plants are also offered for sale at very accessible prices, with exhibitor pitches costing €3 per linear meter.

The car boot sale at Place Pergaud

Place Pergaud, in the center of Durnes, hosts the approximately 45 exhibitors of the car boot sale. Individuals and amateurs offer their second-hand items: clothing, books, toys, trinkets, and curiosities of all kinds. Exhibitors can park their vehicles directly behind their pitch, which greatly facilitates unloading. The event starts at 8:30 AM and welcomes visitors and bargain hunters until mid or late afternoon.

How to get to Durnes

Durnes is accessible from Pontarlier via the plateau roads. The event address is Place Pergaud (Sur la Petite Chaux), Durnes 25580. Information for exhibitors can be requested from the town hall or local organizers.
