Car Boot Sales of the Patronal Festival of Freix-Anglards

The car boot sale of the patronal festival

Every year in May, the small village of Freix-Anglards (15310) organizes a car boot sale on the occasion of its patronal festival. Private exhibitors take over the streets of the village center to offer their second-hand items — trinkets, crockery, clothes, toys, books, tools — in an authentic and warm village atmosphere. This spring event is a moment of conviviality appreciated by the inhabitants and visitors of the canton of Mauriac.

An event in the heart of an authentic Cantal village

Freix-Anglards is a rural commune in Cantal, located in the canton of Mauriac, between the Bertrande and Doire valleys. The village retains a preserved rural charm, with its church and traditional stone houses. The patronal festival, of which the car boot sale is one of the highlights, perpetuates village traditions and contributes to the animation of this small Cantal village.

The conviviality of a village festival

The car boot sale is part of the broader patronal festival, which brings together the inhabitants of Freix-Anglards and neighboring communes — Saint-Illide, Saint-Martin-Cantalès, Arnac — for a day of celebration and reunion. The atmosphere is that of a human-scale event, where bargain hunting naturally blends with neighborly exchanges and Cantal rural traditions.

Between Mauriac and Aurillac

Located halfway between Mauriac and Aurillac, Freix-Anglards benefits from a preserved natural environment, with wooded hills, pastures, and rivers. The patronal festival car boot sale offers a privileged opportunity to discover this discreet but endearing commune in Cantal, where time seems to flow to the rhythm of the seasons and traditions.
