Car boot sale of Saint-Jean-Saint-Maurice-sur-Loire

Treasure hunting above the Loire gorges

Saint-Jean-Saint-Maurice-sur-Loire, a village perched above the Loire gorges, hosts a large car boot sale each spring that takes over the streets and alleys of the town. With around 250 exhibitors, it is one of the most important events in the department.

An exceptional setting

The village, dominated by the ruins of its castle and offering a plunging view of the Loire gorges and the Villerest lake, provides a spectacular backdrop for this day of treasure hunting. Stalls are spread throughout the streets, between the granite houses.

A rich and varied offering

The 250 exhibitors offer a wide range of items: clothing, toys, books, crockery, tools, trinkets, and small furniture. The event attracts treasure hunters from the Roannais, Forez, and even neighboring departments.
