Car boot sales and plants from the Comité des Fêtes de Mirepoix

Car boot sales and plants in Mirepoix

The Comité des Fêtes de Mirepoix (32390) organizes every year in May an event that combines two passions: flea market and gardening. From 8:30 AM to 6 PM, the village simultaneously hosts a car boot sale and a plant market, at a rate of €2 per linear meter for exhibitors.

Flea market and plants: a winning formula

The combination of the car boot sale and the plant market is an original formula that broadens the event's audience. On one hand, bargain hunters browse the flea market stalls in search of clothes, trinkets, tableware, toys, tools, and attic items. On the other hand, gardening enthusiasts discover tomato plants, seasonal flowers, herbs, perennials, and shrubs offered by nurseries and amateur gardeners. This diversity creates a particularly pleasant spring atmosphere.

The Comité des Fêtes, a committed organizer

The Comité des Fêtes de Mirepoix leads this event with the energy and conviviality that characterize Gers associations. Volunteers ensure the welcome of exhibitors, the installation of stands, and often provide a refreshment stand and a catering area. The profits from the event contribute to the financing of village festivals and entertainment throughout the year.

Mirepoix, a village in the Gers not to be confused

Mirepoix in the Gers (32390) is a small rural commune not to be confused with its better-known namesake in the Ariège. This discreet village in the Gers offers a typically Gascon rural setting, with its green hills and varied crops. Village life is active, driven by associations like the Comité des Fêtes, which organize unifying events throughout the year.

A Sunday in May between bargain hunting and gardening

The Mirepoix car boot sale and plant market is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a Sunday in May in the Gers countryside. Visitors combine the search for bargains with the purchase of plants for their vegetable garden or ornamental garden. Entry is free, and the atmosphere is family-friendly and spring-like, with the scents of flowers and flea market discoveries. An event that smells of Gascon spring.
