Car boot sale of Saint-Pons-de-Thomières

Flea market at the foot of the cathedral

Every summer, Saint-Pons-de-Thomières (34220) hosts its car boot sale in the squares and boulevards of the town center. Exhibitors offer clothes, trinkets, toys, books, crockery, tools and flea market items in an exceptional setting, dominated by the majestic Romanesque cathedral and surrounded by century-old plane trees. The event attracts bargain hunters from all over the Haut-Languedoc mountains and the Biterrois region.

Saint-Pons-de-Thomières, cathedral city in the heart of the mountains

Former sub-prefecture of the Hérault, Saint-Pons-de-Thomières is a small town of 2,000 inhabitants nestled in the Jaur valley, in the heart of the Haut-Languedoc Regional Natural Park. The city has remarkable heritage: Romanesque-Gothic cathedral, Regional Prehistory Museum, old thermal baths, and numerous private mansions. The source of the Jaur, a spectacular resurgence gushing at the foot of the town, and the nearby Devèze Caves add to the tourist appeal of this mountain destination.
