Car boot sale of the Ponds — Salzuit

The Car boot sale of the Ponds in Salzuit

Salzuit, a small commune in Haute-Loire nestled in a green setting, boasts one of the most picturesque sites in the department: its ponds. Every first Saturday of June, this exceptional natural setting hosts the Car boot sale of the Ponds, organized by the APE (Association des Parents d'Élèves) Salzuit. An open-air car boot sale in the truest sense of the word, the event is held directly by the water, offering visitors a unique treasure hunting experience in a serene landscape.

A simple and accessible rate

To participate as an exhibitor, the system is simple and innovative: a flat fee of €5 per vehicle. This single rate, independent of the space occupied, encourages spontaneous participation and facilitates logistics. Exhibitors can thus arrive with their full trunk and set up freely according to the available spots around the ponds. This friendly formula perfectly matches the relaxed spirit of the event.

By the ponds, in the open air

The Salzuit ponds site is the ideal setting for this type of event. The shimmering water, the trees lining the banks, and the fresh air of the Haute-Loire plateau create a soothing and pleasant atmosphere. Exhibitors set up on the grassy areas, visitors stroll from one stall to another, enjoying the scenery. Nature is an integral part of the event.

Pétanque and catering

To complete the day, the APE Salzuit offers a pétanque area open to all, allowing enthusiasts to share a few games with neighbors. On-site catering ensures that no one goes home hungry. These friendly activities make the Car boot sale of the Ponds much more than just a market: it's a real open-air village festival.

The APE Salzuit, an involved organizer

The Association des Parents d'Élèves of Salzuit is fully invested in organizing this annual event.
