The Car Boot Sale of the Comité des Fêtes of Saint-Jean-Mirabel

Every summer, the Comité des Fêtes of Saint-Jean-Mirabel organizes the village festival, of which the car boot sale is one of the morning highlights. This village in the Figeac region, located 6 kilometers northeast of the city of Champollion, hosts a complete popular festival that mixes the tradition of car boot sales with contemporary entertainment for the whole family.

Saint-Jean-Mirabel, a village in the Figeac region

Saint-Jean-Mirabel is a commune of 309 inhabitants belonging to the arrondissement and canton of Figeac. Perched at 353 meters above sea level on the heights overlooking the Célé valley, the village offers a remarkable panorama of the landscapes of the northeast Lot. Crossed by the Célé and its tributaries, the communal territory presents a natural diversity between causse and valley, typical of the Figeac region. The commune is part of the Figeac agglomeration and benefits from the proximity of the facilities and services of this city of art and history.

A Car Boot Sale Integrated into a Complete Festival

The Saint-Jean-Mirabel car boot sale is not held in isolation but is part of a full day of festivities organized by the Comité des Fêtes. From 8 a.m., private sellers set up their stalls in the village center and offer clothes, decorative items, books, toys, and various second-hand articles. This morning of treasure hunting is the first highlight of a day that continues with other activities.

A Day of Celebration for the Whole Family

The Comité des Fêtes of Saint-Jean-Mirabel's day offers a rich and varied program: inflatable games for children from 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., a hiking trail in the surroundings (departure 10 a.m.), a village mass (11 a.m.), food trucks for lunch and snacks, a theater performance in the afternoon, and a grand musical evening with grilled chicken dinner in the evening.
