The Car Boot Sale of the Réveil Castelautryen in Autry-le-Châtel

Every summer, the village of Autry-le-Châtel (45500), nestled in Sologne giennoise, hosts the car boot sale organized by the local sports and cultural association, the Réveil Castelautryen. This summer event takes place on the village's fairground and brings together individuals and bargain hunters eager to enjoy a long day of flea marketing in the open air.

A Car Boot Sale on the Fairground

The Autry-le-Châtel fairground offers a generous space to accommodate exhibitors. Open from 6 am to 6 pm, the event gives visitors ample time to browse the aisles at their leisure. Exhibitors can set up freely on a first-come, first-served basis, with no prior reservation required. This flexibility encourages spontaneous participation from the village residents and surrounding areas.

Participation Rules

The car boot sale is reserved for non-professional individuals. Food stands (fruits, vegetables, new items) are not allowed. This rule preserves the authentic character of the flea market, focusing on the resale of used and second-hand items.
