The Sandillon Car Boot Sales, Twice a Year

Sandillon, a village on the banks of the Loire in the Loiret region, is fortunate to host two annual car boot sales that punctuate its associative and festive calendar. The first takes place in spring (in May) and the second, the most important, occurs on August 15th around the Mail de Loire, welcoming up to 142 private sellers.

A Privileged Loire Setting

Sandillon benefits from a remarkable geographical location on the banks of the Loire, in the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Mail de Loire, a shaded promenade along the river, is one of the most popular living spaces for the residents of Sandillon. This exceptional natural setting gives the August 15th car boot sale a unique atmosphere, halfway between a provincial market and a Loire stroll.

Sandillon, a Character Village in the Loire Valley

With its approximately 3,500 inhabitants, Sandillon is a human-sized village that has preserved its rural identity while integrating into the orbit of the Orléans agglomeration. Its dynamic associative life, its preserved natural spaces, and its proximity to the Loire make it a desirable place to live. These two annual car boot sales actively contribute to the local entertainment and social cohesion of the village.
