Car boot sale of Roquestéron

The Roquestéron car boot sale

Roquestéron is a picturesque village in the Estéron valley, nestled between limestone gorges and wooded hills in the Alpes-Maritimes. Once divided between France and the County of Nice, this market town with a unique border past retains traces of this dual identity in its urban planning and heritage. Its stone houses clustered along the river, its narrow streets, and its old bridges offer an authentic setting for the annual car boot sale, which brings together the inhabitants of this remote and preserved valley.

A popular annual event for bargain hunters

The Roquestéron car boot sale is a highly anticipated highlight of local life, bringing together the inhabitants of the Estéron valley and visitors from Nice and surrounding communes. Private sellers offer a varied range of second-hand items: mountain and vintage clothing, period toys, old books, trinkets, country tools, and rustic objects. The warm atmosphere and the spirit of solidarity that characterize this mountain village invite you to stroll among the stalls, chat with the sellers, and unearth unexpected finds in this preserved natural setting.
