Car boot sale of Saint-Jean-des-Ollières

Car boot sale in the potters' village

Saint-Jean-des-Ollières owes its name to the 'ollieres', pottery artisans who once made earthenware pots and containers. It is in the crossing of this historic village that the annual car boot sale is held, transforming the main street into an open-air flea market.

At the gates of Livradois-Forez

Located on the first foothills of Livradois, between the Billom plain and the forest heights of the Regional Natural Park, Saint-Jean-des-Ollières offers a pleasant mid-mountain setting. The May car boot sale marks the beginning of the flea market season in this rural area where village traditions remain lively.
