Car boot sale on the banks of the Loire, first Sunday of September in Chaspinhac
Every first Sunday of September, the Chaspinhac Twinning Committee organizes its annual car boot sale on the banks of the Loire, in this village near Le Puy-en-Velay. Without prior reservation, private sellers and visitors meet in a pleasant natural setting by the river for a friendly morning of treasure hunting.
Chaspinhac is a small village in Haute-Loire located in the immediate vicinity of Brives-Charensac and Le Puy-en-Velay, on the banks of the Loire. Every first Sunday of September, its Twinning Committee invites treasure hunting enthusiasts and locals for a friendly annual car boot sale, organized directly on the banks of the Loire.
The chosen location for the event β the banks of the Loire β gives this event a special charm. Stalls are set up in the open air, in a green and cool setting ideal for an early September Sunday when the first autumn chills begin to appear without the summer season being completely over. It's a pleasant place to stroll, hunt for treasures, and chat by the water.
The unique feature of this event is that it welcomes sellers without prior reservation. Anyone can come and set up their items for sale on the day, which gives the event spontaneity and appreciated diversity. Crockery, books, clothes, toys, tools, trinkets: everything that has been gathering dust in the attics and cellars of Chaspinhac and neighboring towns finds a buyer.
The Chaspinhac Twinning Committee is an association that works to foster friendship between towns and for local events. The organization of this annual car boot sale is part of its mission to create social bonds and fund its intercultural exchange activities. It's an opportunity for the inhabitants of the village and surrounding areas to come together for a festive event before the start of the school year.
The Chaspinhac Twinning Committee car boot sale returns on the first Sunday of September 2026 on the banks of the Loire. No reservation required, free entry.
