Car boot sale of the Sou des Écoles of Saint-Prim

The Sou des Écoles Car Boot Sale

Every spring, the Sou des Écoles of Saint-Prim organizes its traditional car boot sale in the village center. This family-friendly and convivial event brings together residents of the commune and neighboring villages — Chonas-l'Amballan, Auberives-sur-Varèze, Les Roches-de-Condrieu — around the stalls of individuals offering their second-hand items. Clothes of all seasons, toys in good condition, tableware, books, trinkets, gardening tools, and small furniture await bargain hunters looking to enjoy the spring air and good deals.

Saint-Prim, a Côtes du Rhône Wine Village

Saint-Prim is a wine-producing commune of about 1,200 inhabitants located on the sunny hillsides of the right bank of the Rhône, between Vienne and Roussillon. The village is part of the prestigious Côtes du Rhône septentrionales appellation and produces full-bodied, fruity red wines that are the pride of local winemakers. The landscapes of terraced vineyards, cherry and apricot orchards, and gentle hills offer a bucolic and authentic setting for this car boot sale held in the heart of the village, under the shade of the plane trees in the village square.

To Benefit the Commune's Children

The Sou des Écoles is the association that supports school life in Saint-Prim by funding educational outings, shows, nature classes, Christmas snacks, and educational projects throughout the year. The car boot sale is one of its main fundraising events, alongside the end-of-year fair. The refreshment stand and food stall run by volunteer parents complement the revenue and add to the conviviality of this solidarity day.

Practical Advice
