Car boot sale of the Sassenage Medieval Fair

The Sassenage Medieval Fair Car Boot Sale

Every year in August, the town of Sassenage organizes its famous medieval fair, a major event in the Grenoble area. The car boot sale is part of this festival, which transports visitors to the Middle Ages with its knights in armor, art craftsmen, jugglers, and period taverns.

A Car Boot Sale in an Exceptional Setting

The medieval fair car boot sale benefits from a unique setting. Sassenage, famous for its vats (natural caves with underground waterfalls), is a green town at the entrance to the Vercors, near Grenoble. The car boot sale stands are alongside medieval encampments, creating a unique atmosphere where flea market finds mix with history and festivities.

Antiquing Between Two Shows

Visitors can alternate between browsing the second-hand stalls and enjoying the numerous medieval activities: knight combats, demonstrations of ancient crafts, juggling, and fire-breather shows. This dual program makes this day a complete family outing, where everyone finds something to enjoy.

An Event Rooted in Local Life

The Sassenage medieval fair has existed for many years and has become one of the town's flagship events. The car boot sale aspect allows residents to actively participate in the festival by offering their second-hand items, adding a participatory dimension to this popular event.
