Car boot sale of Saulce-sur-Rhône

The Saulce-sur-Rhône Car Boot Sale

Every July, Saulce-sur-Rhône hosts its annual car boot sale. This commune on the left bank of the Rhône, located between Valence and Montélimar, organizes this event that brings together private sellers and visitors looking for bargains in a characteristic riverside and wine-growing setting of the Drôme region.

Saulce-sur-Rhône, between the Rhône and vineyards

Saulce-sur-Rhône is a commune of about 2,000 inhabitants, located on the left bank of the Rhône between Valence (to the north) and Montélimar (to the south), at a modest altitude in the alluvial plain of the great river. Its territory is crossed by the Rhône and marked by the presence of industrial areas related to energy, but also by agricultural and wine-growing areas that recall the rural vocation of the region.

The annual July car boot sale is one of the events of local life. It takes place in the public spaces of the town center and attracts private sellers from the village and neighboring communes, as well as visitors from Valence, Livron-sur-Drôme, and the Drôme Rhône Valley sector.

A summer event in the Drôme Rhône Valley

Organized in July, the car boot sale takes advantage of the summer to attract the maximum number of participants and visitors. Families empty their attics, bargain hunters browse the stalls, and the conviviality of these outdoor days creates authentic local life moments. The items offered cover all categories: clothing, toys, books, records, tableware, tools, furniture, and knick-knacks, reflecting the diversity of households in this sector of the Drôme.
