Car boot sale of Roquefort-la-Bédoule

In June 2025, the Car boot sale of Roquefort-la-Bédoule enlivened the market square of this Provençal village with its rich industrial past. Locals and bargain hunters from surrounding towns met in the village center to browse the exhibitors' stalls, finding tableware, books, clothes, toys, and trinkets offered at low prices by individuals.

Roquefort-la-Bédoule, a village whose identity was forged by the Cassis stone quarries and the Boyer cement works in the 19th century, offered a historically rich setting for this day of treasure hunting. Not far from the square, the medieval ruins of Roquefort-le-Vieux, the Romanesque chapel of Saint-André-de-Julhans, and the Roman-Byzantine church of Sainte-Roseline testified to the historical depth of this territory inhabited since Roman times. The summit of Montourier, the commune's highest point at 567 meters, watched over the scene, offering its panorama of the Calanques of Cassis and the port of Marseille.

The Car boot sale of Roquefort-la-Bédoule will return in June 2026 for a new family-friendly and convivial edition in this authentic village between Cassis and Aubagne.
