Car boot sale rue de Bruxelles

Car boot sale in the heart of the northern district of Arras

Rue de Bruxelles, a major artery in the northern district of Arras leading towards Lens and Béthune, hosts its neighborhood car boot sale every end of May. Residents set up their stalls on the sidewalks and in front of their homes, creating a village atmosphere in the heart of the city. You can find everyday objects, dishes, clothes, toys, books, and all sorts of attic treasures.

The tradition of street car boot sales in the North

Street car boot sales are an institution in the Nord–Pas-de-Calais region. Each neighborhood organizes its own, often at the initiative of a neighborhood committee or a residents' association. Rue de Bruxelles follows this tradition and offers a friendly event each year where families gather to sell, buy, and above all, have a good time with neighbors.

A lively and popular neighborhood

The rue de Bruxelles neighborhood, with its brick houses typical of Pas-de-Calais architecture, offers an authentic setting for this sidewalk sale. Local cafes open early for the occasion, and the atmosphere is that of a neighborhood festival.
