Choiseul Car Boot Sale

Choiseul Car Boot Sale

The Choiseul Car Boot Sale (52240) enlivens this historic village in Val-de-Meuse, in the south of Haute-Marne, every August. Named after the powerful aristocratic family that gave France the Duke of Choiseul, a minister under Louis XV, this village has a strong historical identity that is reflected in the special atmosphere of its local events.

Choiseul is located in the Meuse valley, in the southern part of Haute-Marne that marks the transition to Haute-Saône. The Meuse River gradually gains its majesty here, flowing through characteristic meadows and forests. The village has retained architectural elements that recall the importance of the Choiseul lordship in regional history.

The August car boot sale is the village's summer event, allowing residents to gather and visitors to discover this little-known corner of Haute-Marne. Exhibitors offer the classic items of a rural flea market: crockery, furniture, books, antique clothing, toys, and trinkets. In this region of Haute-Marne, family homes have often preserved high-quality antique objects that delight bargain hunters.

The atmosphere of the Choiseul car boot sale is that of an authentic village festival, driven by the volunteering and solidarity of the inhabitants. Friendliness is key, and the day passes in a relaxed and warm atmosphere. The beauty of the natural setting in the Meuse valley adds to the enjoyment of the day for visitors who wish to combine bargain hunting with discovering the Haute-Marne countryside.

Choiseul is one of those rural communes that deserve to be discovered for their authenticity and heritage, and the August car boot sale is the ideal gateway for visitors passing through Val-de-Meuse.
