Car boot sale of Pont-en-Royans

Bargain hunting at the foot of the hanging houses

Pont-en-Royans is one of the most spectacular villages in the Isère region, famous worldwide for its colorful houses suspended above the Bourne gorges. It is in this exceptional setting that the Festival Committee organizes a car boot sale every September, combining bargain hunting and tourism in a festive and friendly atmosphere.

An outdoor village car boot sale

The Pont-en-Royans car boot sale takes place in the village streets, offering bargain hunters a unique strolling experience among the colorful houses and panoramic views of the gorges. Exhibitors, mainly individuals, offer the contents of their attics: crockery, clothes, toys, trinkets, books, and decorative objects. The no-reservation format – setup from 6:30 am – encourages spontaneity and attracts both locals and holidaymakers passing through the Vercors.

Rillauds and refreshments for food lovers

One of the particularities of this car boot sale is the traditional cooking of rillauds on-site, a charcuterie specialty appreciated by food lovers. The refreshment stand complements this catering offer, allowing visitors to quench their thirst and eat throughout the day, from 6:30 am to 6 pm.

Pont-en-Royans, gateway to the Vercors

A candidate for the « Most Beautiful Villages of France » label, Pont-en-Royans is the gateway to the Vercors massif through the Bourne gorges. The Water Museum, hiking trails, and spectacular gorges make this village a major tourist site in the Isère region. The September car boot sale is an opportunity to combine bargain hunting with the discovery of this remarkable natural and architectural heritage.
