Car boot sale and vintage vehicle gathering in Marseillan

Car Boot Sale and Vintage Vehicles in Marseillan

Marseillan (32170) offers an original event each May that combines a car boot sale and a vintage vehicle gathering on the Place de la Mairie. This dual event attracts a diverse crowd: bargain hunters looking for good deals and classic car enthusiasts mingle in a festive and friendly atmosphere.

Two Prices According to Location

The car boot sale offers two options to suit exhibitors' needs. Indoor pitches are available for €3 per linear meter, providing shelter in case of bad weather and a valuable covered space. Outdoor pitches, on the Place de la Mairie, are €2 per linear meter, taking advantage of the open air and visibility. This dual pricing allows everyone to choose the option that suits them best.

The Vintage Vehicle Gathering

The vintage vehicle gathering is the original touch of this event. Classic cars, vintage vehicles, old tractors, and other bygone machinery gather in the square, creating a visual spectacle that delights lovers of mechanical heritage. This automotive aspect adds an extra dimension to the car boot sale and attracts an audience that wouldn't necessarily come for the flea market alone.

Marseillan, a Village in the Gers

Marseillan is a rural commune in the Gers, nestled in the rolling landscape of Gascony. Not to be confused with its namesake in the Hérault region, the Marseillan in the Gers is a discreet and authentic village, with the Place de la Mairie as its heart. The surrounding area combines cereal crops and vineyards, in a typically Gascon setting of hills and valleys.

An Event for the Whole Family

The combination of the car boot sale and the vintage vehicle gathering makes this event an ideal outing for the whole family. While some hunt for clothes, trinkets, crockery, and attic finds, others admire the gleaming bodywork of vintage cars. Children are amazed by the old tractors and vehicles from another era. Admission is free for visitors.
