About Saint-Jean Bonfire Car boot sale Chaveignes
Treasure Hunting and Saint-Jean Bonfire in the Village
The Chaveignes car boot sale is part of the Saint-Jean Bonfire festivities, one of the highlights of the year in this small village in the Richelais region. Private sellers offer a varied selection of second-hand items: clothing, toys, tableware, books, tools, trinkets, small furniture, and various everyday objects. The atmosphere is festive and family-friendly, typical of village festivals in southern Touraine.
Chaveignes, a Discreet Village in Richelais
Chaveignes is a small commune of about 350 inhabitants, nestled in the countryside of Richelais, a few kilometers from Richelieu, in the south of Indre-et-Loire. This rural village retains a simple and authentic heritage: a church, tuffeau stone houses, and vast agricultural expanses. The proximity to Richelieu, a 'cité idéale' built in the 17th century by the Cardinal, adds heritage interest to the visit.
Pétanque, Music, and Fireworks
The day's program includes a pétanque competition, the car boot sale, a musical evening with a meal, fireworks, and a ball to conclude the festivities. Refreshments and food are available throughout the event. Entry is free.
Saint-Jean Bonfire Car boot sale Chaveignes — edition 2026
ℹ️ 2026 edition not confirmed. At the time of our editorial verification (May 2026), we found no public source (Chaveignes festival committee, town hall via Panneau Pocket, flea market aggregators, local press) announcing a 2026 edition of the Vide-grenier du Feu de la Saint-Jean in Chaveignes. The last publicly documented edition dates back to 2021. If you are the organizer and this event is indeed taking place, please let us know via the event modification form.
The Vide-grenier du Feu de la Saint-Jean is a traditional event historically organized by the Chaveignes festival committee (Indre-et-Loire, 37120), in the heart of the town center. The day typically combined a flea market in the morning, a pétanque competition in the afternoon, followed by a festive evening punctuated by a St. John's fire and a dance.
For 2026, no public source confirms the holding of the edition on the previously announced date (June 20, 2026). Bargain hunters and residents wishing to participate in a flea market in the area can inquire at the Chaveignes town hall or consult neighboring events in Indre-et-Loire.
