Car boot sale Union Cycliste Gradignan

The Union Cycliste Car Boot Sale at the Cité des jardins

The Union Cycliste de Gradignan organizes an annual car boot sale in March at the Cité des jardins, a popular residential area in Gradignan. Private sellers set up their stalls in the alleys and green spaces of this neighborhood, offering clothing, toys, books, second-hand cycling and sports equipment, tableware, and various items. This early-season car boot sale attracts residents from Gradignan and neighboring towns, happy to enjoy the flea market atmosphere with the first sunny days.

Gradignan, a green town in the Bordeaux agglomeration

Gradignan is a municipality of over 25,000 inhabitants, known for its green spaces and quality of life. Located south of Bordeaux, it is home to the prieuré de Cayac, a historical monument on the Way of Saint James of Compostela, and numerous parks and gardens. The Cité des jardins is a suburban neighborhood created in the 1960s-1970s, characterized by its houses with gardens and tree-lined common areas. It's an ideal setting for a neighborhood car boot sale.

Supporting local cycling

The Union Cycliste de Gradignan is an active amateur cycling club that organizes outings, rides, and competitions. The car boot sale is one of its main fundraising events: proceeds from stall rentals and the refreshment stand help purchase equipment, fund race entries, and offer accessible activities for everyone. Club volunteers manage the organization and catering (sandwiches, drinks). Entry is free.
