Farfouille-Brocante de Meximieux

The Farfouille-Brocante de Meximieux: the meeting place for bargain hunters in Plaine de l'Ain

Every second Sunday in June, the town of Meximieux hosts its grand Farfouille-Brocante, an outdoor car boot sale that has become a must-attend event for bargain hunters in the Plaine de l'Ain and the Lyon metropolitan area. Organized by the EMD Rugby club of Meximieux, this event combines a sporting spirit with conviviality.

A car boot sale in the heart of a town with character

Meximieux, a small town with a rich medieval heritage, offers a particularly pleasant setting for this day of bargain hunting. Stalls line the Chemin des Verchères and the Rue des Stades, in a green and airy environment. The exhibitors, mainly individuals, offer a wide range of items: clothing, toys, books, crockery, small appliances, trinkets, and decorative objects at attractive prices.

A family and sporting atmosphere

The Amicale du personnel communal de Meximieux and the EMD Rugby club join forces to offer a warm event. The profits generated contribute to the financing of the club's activities. Families appreciate the relaxed atmosphere, with children finding toys and books within their reach while parents browse the stalls in search of original finds.

A well-established tradition in the town

The Farfouille-Brocante de Meximieux is rooted in the tradition of popular events in this historic town founded in the 13th century. The town, known for its medieval streets and remarkable architectural heritage, offers a particularly inspiring setting for this day of bargain hunting. Visitors enjoy combining their visit to the farfouille with a discovery of the charms of the old town, its medieval towers, and its shaded squares.
