Car boot sale of the Vayres local festival

The car boot sale of the Vayres local festival

Every year in April, the commune of Vayres organizes a car boot sale as part of its local festival. Individual exhibitors set up in the streets and squares of the town to offer clothes, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, and various items. This spring event attracts bargain hunters from the Libournais region and the entire right bank of Bordeaux.

Vayres, city of the castle and vineyard

Vayres is a commune of about 3,500 inhabitants located on the left bank of the Dordogne, a few kilometers west of Libourne. The commune is famous for its Château de Vayres, a magnificent Renaissance building classified as a historic monument, which overlooks the river from its terraced gardens. The Vayres vineyard produces wines under the Graves de Vayres appellation, red and white, recognized for their finesse. The town retains an interesting architectural heritage with its stone houses and old streets.
