Car boot sales at Place du Trépadé in Fonsorbes

The Place du Trépadé Car Boot Sales, a Recurring Event in Fonsorbes

The Place du Trépadé, a large square in the heart of Fonsorbes, hosts a major car boot sale several times a year organized by the town's Festival Committee. With events in spring, at the start of the school year, and in autumn, it is one of the most regular flea market events in the southwest suburbs of Toulouse.

Each event brings together up to 220 exhibitors, mainly individuals, offering a wide range of second-hand items: clothing, toys, books, crockery, small furniture, tools, trinkets, and various equipment. The 3-linear meter pitch is offered at just 8 euros, a very accessible price, with the possibility of extending by additional 3-meter increments. No prior reservation is necessary: pitches are assigned on the day, on a first-come, first-served basis.

Fonsorbes, a Dynamic Town in Western Toulouse

Fonsorbes, a town of over 12,000 inhabitants located about twenty kilometers west of Toulouse, has experienced strong demographic growth since the 2000s. The Place du Trépadé, in the center of the village, is the natural gathering point for community events. Its generous space allows for the comfortable accommodation of 220 exhibitors, with good spacing between stalls.

The Fonsorbes Festival Committee, a very active association, enlivens the community calendar throughout the year. The Place du Trépadé car boot sales are complemented by a refreshment stand and catering service, creating a festive and friendly atmosphere that attracts visitors from surrounding towns.
