El Picot And Co Montescot Car Boot Sale

The great Catalan car boot sale of Montescot

Every spring, the El Picot And Co association organizes one of the largest car boot sales in the Salanque plain in the heart of the village of Montescot. The streets of the town center, around rue du Canigou where the town hall is located, are transformed into a large village of bargain hunters, attracting residents, families and collectors from Perpignan, Saint-Cyprien, Canet and the entire Roussillon plain.

An efficient associative organization

El Picot And Co is a dynamic association from Montescot that regularly animates local life. Their car boot sale has become over the years an unmissable spring Catalan event, appreciated for its well-oiled organization, its vast perimeter and its festive atmosphere. Catering and refreshments are provided on site throughout the day, allowing bargain hunters to fully enjoy the stalls without leaving the perimeter.

Montescot, Catalan village of the Salanque

Montescot is a Catalan village of nearly 1,700 inhabitants, located about ten kilometers from Perpignan, between Elne and the Mediterranean coast. Deeply rooted in Catalan culture, it celebrates local heritage every year with numerous events. The El Picot And Co car boot sale is one of those highlights that punctuate village life and strengthen ties between residents.

A sale in the heart of the market gardening plain

The Salanque plain is famous for its market gardening, its salads and its artichokes. Coming to Montescot to hunt for bargains also means enjoying this fertile land and treating yourself, after the hunt, to a gourmet stop at one of the many nearby producer markets. Just a few kilometers away, you reach the fine sandy beaches of Argelès, Saint-Cyprien or Canet, or the Roman remains of Elne, historical capital of Roussillon.
