39th Car Boot Sale Edition of Plazac

The Plazac Car Boot Sale: Nearly Four Decades of Tradition

Since the late 1980s, Plazac has celebrated August 15th with its annual car boot sale, which has become an unmissable event for bargain hunters in Périgord Noir over the decades. The 39th edition in 2025 testifies to the exceptional longevity of this event, driven by the Plazac Festival Committee with remarkable regularity.

Place du 19 Mars 1962, the Heart of the Hunt

Stalls are set up on the Place du 19 Mars 1962, around the village hall, and under the lime trees that offer welcome shade in the height of summer. The space is large enough to accommodate a significant number of exhibitors, both individuals and professionals. You can find country furniture, antique tableware, trinkets, tools, books, clothes, and collectibles, all in an authentic Périgord village atmosphere.

A Car Boot Sale Open to Professionals

Unlike many car boot sales that only accept individuals, Plazac's event is open to flea market professionals. This mix enriches the offerings and attracts more discerning bargain hunters looking for quality items. The coexistence of individuals selling their everyday items and professionals offering flea market goods and antiques creates a diverse and attractive market.

Plazac, a Périgord Noir Village Between Caves and Castles

Plazac is a commune of about 700 inhabitants located in the heart of Périgord Noir, between Montignac-Lascaux and Les Eyzies-de-Tayac. This area, a UNESCO World Heritage site for its prehistoric sites, attracts thousands of visitors every summer. The village of Plazac, with its 12th-century fortified Romanesque church and its pale stone houses, retains an authentic charm. The August 15th car boot sale is part of this summer buzz, offering tourists and locals an opportunity to hunt for treasures in a preserved setting.
