Car boot sale of the Triguères Festival Committee

The Car Boot Sale of the Triguères Festival Committee

In the village of Triguères, located northeast of the Loiret in the Gâtinais region, the Festival Committee organizes its annual car boot sale. This popular event, usually held around May 8th and in the summer, brings together local exhibitors and visitors from the surrounding areas for a human-sized treasure hunting day, in the friendly spirit typical of village car boot sales.

Triguères, a village in the Gâtinais nord-loiretain

Triguères is a village of a few hundred inhabitants located in the canton of Châtillon-Coligny, in the northeastern part of the Loiret. Between cereal plains and forests, this characterful village has a modest but authentic architectural heritage, with its church and its rural houses made of local limestone. Community life is lively, driven by committed volunteers like those from the Festival Committee.

The car boot sale stalls are set up around the village hall and in the village streets. Individuals wishing to clear out their attics and a few local second-hand dealers mingle to offer crockery, books, clothes, toys, tools, and trinkets. The event, modest in size, is appreciated for its authentic and unpretentious atmosphere.

Two opportunities to hunt for treasures during the year

The Triguères Festival Committee generally offers two car boot sale opportunities per year: one in spring around May 8th, a public holiday favorable for outings, and another in the summer. This double schedule reflects the associative dynamism of the village and offers treasure hunters two annual events in this rural area of the Loiret.

Friendliness and local solidarity

Like all car boot sales organized by festival committees, the Triguères event contributes to the financing of local events and the revitalization of village life. The profits help fund other events throughout the year. Refreshments are provided on site by volunteers.
