Car boot sale of the Plateau Sportif of Saint-Nazaire-les-Eymes

The car boot sale at the foot of the Chartreuse

Saint-Nazaire-les-Eymes organizes its car boot sale every year at the town hall's sports plateau. With around 80 exhibitors, the event maintains the human scale and conviviality of a village car boot sale, far from large impersonal flea markets. Individuals offer the traditional assortment of second-hand items: clothes for the whole family, toys in good condition, crockery and tableware, books and magazines, small furniture, trinkets, decorative objects, gardening tools, and sports equipment.

A residential village in the heart of the Grésivaudan

Saint-Nazaire-les-Eymes is a residential commune of about 3,000 inhabitants, nestled at the foot of the Chartreuse massif in the Grésivaudan valley, this wide valley that stretches between Grenoble and Chambéry. The village benefits from a privileged living environment with, on one side, the spectacular cliffs of the Chartreuse and, on the other, the peaks of the Belledonne range. The sports plateau, a clear and well-maintained space in the center of the village, transforms for a day into a lively and colorful treasure hunting area, with the mountains as a backdrop.

A family and village gathering

This car boot sale is a typically family event that contributes to the social life of the village. Families from Saint-Nazaire-les-Eymes and neighboring communes — Saint-Ismier, Bernin, Crolles, Le Versoud — come as much to hunt for bargains as to meet and chat with neighbors. The refreshment stand run by volunteers from the organizing association allows visitors to cool down or warm up depending on the season. The atmosphere is relaxed, prices are generally very attractive, and bargaining is always done with a smile.

Practical advice

The car boot sale is held from 8 am to 6 pm with free entry. Parking is available near the sports plateau. Arrive early for the best deals. Bring cash and a sturdy bag. The contact for more information is 04 76 52 70 48.
