Car boot sale of Sainte-Jalle

The Car boot sale of Sainte-Jalle: treasure hunting at the foot of the Romanesque chapel

Sainte-Jalle is one of the most charming villages in the Baronnies drômoises. Perched on the heights of the Ennuye valley, it is famous for its 12th-century Romanesque chapel, a remarkable building listed as a Historic Monument, whose sculpted portal and bell tower testify to the high quality of Provençal Romanesque art. It is in this exceptional heritage setting that the annual car boot sale takes place every end of June, combining treasure hunting and heritage discovery.

Sainte-Jalle and the Saint-Ferréol Romanesque chapel

The Saint-Ferréol-et-Ferrution chapel of Sainte-Jalle is one of the jewels of Romanesque art in the Baronnies. Dating from the 12th century, it features a portal with archivolts sculpted with remarkable geometric and vegetal motifs, typical of the Provençal Romanesque style of the Vienne school. Classified as a Historic Monument, it attracts many visitors passionate about medieval heritage every summer, who often take advantage of their visit to Sainte-Jalle to hunt for treasures at the car boot sale.

The Baronnies drômoises: a land of hiking and silence

Sainte-Jalle is part of the Regional Natural Park of Baronnies Provençales, a territory of limestone hills, lavender, lime trees, and preserved holm oak forests. The quiet and uncrowded Ennuye valley offers serene landscapes of the inner Drôme, with its stone hamlets, water mills, and lavender orchards. The Sainte-Jalle car boot sale is naturally part of this terroir and tradition.
