Car boot sales of the Twinning Committee Güglingen / Auneau-Bleury-Saint-Symphorien

The Twinning Committee's Car Boot Sale, a Popular Festival in Auneau

Every year in April, the Twinning Committee Güglingen / Auneau-Bleury-Saint-Symphorien organizes its grand car boot sale at the Champ de Foire square in Auneau (28700). This popular event, deeply rooted in local life, is one of the most important bargain hunting events in the Beauce canton. Profits support the twinning exchanges and activities between Auneau and the German city of Güglingen.

A Day of Bargain Hunting from 7 am to 6 pm

The car boot sale opens as early as 7 am and continues until 6 pm, allowing both early birds and latecomers to enjoy the event. The early opening is particularly appreciated by experienced bargain hunters who arrive in the first hours to spot the best items before the crowds. The Champ de Foire square, a vast space in the heart of Auneau, offers an ideal setting for this open-air event.

An Iconic Setting: The Champ de Foire Square

The Champ de Foire square is the natural venue for Auneau's major popular events. For this car boot sale, it transforms into a vast open-air flea market where dozens of stalls are lined up. Antique furniture, tableware, books, clothing, tools, toys, and various bric-a-brac are found there for the greatest joy of exhibitors and visitors.

Serving Franco-German Twinning

The twinning between Auneau and the German city of Güglingen (in Baden-Württemberg) has existed for many years. The twinning committee regularly organizes cultural, sporting, and human exchanges between the two municipalities. The car boot sale is one of the flagship events that allows the committee to finance these exchanges and keep this Franco-German link alive at the local level.
