Car boot sales of Blaison-Saint-Sulpice – Saint-Sulpice-sur-Loire and Blaison-Gohier

The Car Boot Sales of Blaison-Saint-Sulpice

The new commune of Blaison-Saint-Sulpice perpetuates the associative traditions of its two founding communes: Saint-Sulpice-sur-Loire and Blaison-Gohier. The car boot sales organized in this area bring together exhibitors and visitors each year for days of treasure hunting in an exceptional Loire setting. The diversity of items offered and the friendly atmosphere of the events make them eagerly awaited gatherings for flea market enthusiasts in the region.

Exhibitors present a wide selection of items: clothing of all sizes, toys and games, books and magazines, tableware and table arts, trinkets and curiosities, light furniture, paintings and frames, collectible items. The atmosphere of the Loire riverside car boot sales is particularly pleasant, with the fresh river air and the soft Anjou light.

Saint-Sulpice and Blaison, two merged villages

The merger into a new commune of Saint-Sulpice-sur-Loire and Blaison-Gohier in 2016 gave birth to Blaison-Saint-Sulpice (49320). These two villages in the Val d'Authion, nestled between the Loire and the vineyards, have each retained their identity while pooling their associative and communal resources. The organization of car boot sales is emblematic of this dynamic, drawing on the traditions of both communes to create events that unite the population across the territory.

The Val d'Authion, between the Loire and vineyards

The territory of Blaison-Saint-Sulpice extends into the Val d'Authion, a fertile alluvial plain stretching south of the Loire between Angers and Saumur. This area, characteristic of the Loire Valley inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, is marked by the presence of the river, protective levees, meadows, and vineyards. The landscape is of great beauty and remarkable ecological richness.
