Cars Fair and Flea Market

The Cars Fair and Flea Market: A Blayais Tradition

For over 30 years, the commune of Cars has organized its annual fair and flea market on the first Sunday of June. This event, which has become a classic on the Haute Gironde bargain hunter's calendar, offers a wide selection of flea market items, antique furniture, trinkets, tableware, and curiosities. Exhibitors, a mix of professionals and individuals, set up both indoors and outdoors, ensuring the event runs smoothly regardless of the weather.

Cars, a Wine Village in the Blayais

Cars is a commune in Haute Gironde with about 700 inhabitants, nestled in the heart of the Côtes de Blaye vineyards. This small rural village, located a few kilometers from Blaye and its Vauban citadel, has preserved its authentic character and peaceful way of life. The fair and flea market is one of the highlights of communal life, mobilizing local residents and associations to welcome visitors and exhibitors.

A Friendly and Generous Flea Market

The atmosphere of the Cars fair is that of a village flea market as we like them: friendly, generous, and unpretentious. Visitors stroll between the stalls, negotiate with a smile, and stop to enjoy a sandwich and fries washed down with a glass of Côtes de Blaye. The event attracts bargain hunters from all over the region, from Blaye to Bourg and Saint-André-de-Cubzac.
