Car boot sale of Thillot

The Thillot Car Boot Sale

The village of Thillot, also known as Thillot-sous-les-Côtes, hosts its annual car boot sale in the streets of the town every summer. Individuals come to sell their everyday items: clothes, toys, tableware, books, trinkets, tools, and small furniture. The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, in the tradition of Lorraine rural car boot sales where people take their time to browse the stalls.

Thillot, a village at the foot of the Côtes de Meuse

Thillot is a small village located at the foot of the Côtes de Meuse, in the canton of Vigneulles-lès-Hattonchâtel. The commune is part of the characteristic landscape of the Woëvre, this vast clay plain dominated by the limestone cliffs of the côtes. The village, with its typical Lorraine stone houses, retains an authentically rural character.

A preserved natural setting

The surroundings of Thillot offer a remarkable natural setting. The Lac de Madine, located a few kilometers away, is one of the main attractions of the Parc naturel régional de Lorraine. The mirabelle plum orchards that dot the hillsides bear witness to the fruit-growing tradition of this region. The car boot sale is an opportunity to discover this preserved Lorraine countryside and its rolling landscapes.
