Fête des Moteurs and Car Boot Sale in Arnancourt

The Fête des Moteurs and Car Boot Sale in Arnancourt (52110) is one of the most original events in the department. By combining a gathering of old motorized vehicles with a car boot sale, this September event creates an original festive synergy that attracts a mixed and enthusiastic audience.

Arnancourt is a commune in the canton of Saint-Dizier-Est, in this sector of Haute-Marne between Saint-Dizier and Joinville. Usually a quiet rural village, it transforms for a day into a true place of popular celebration, thanks to the energy deployed by its volunteer organizers. The Fête des Moteurs is their pride and their signature.

The gathering of old motorized vehicles is the highlight of the event: vintage agricultural tractors, collector cars, vintage motorcycles, military vehicles – retro mechanics enthusiasts gather here to share their passion with the general public. The spectacle is impressive and educational, with owners usually delighted to present their machines and explain their history.

The car boot sale that accompanies the gathering also attracts its share of bargain hunters: the items offered naturally reflect the mechanical atmosphere of the event – you can find old agricultural equipment, spare parts, vintage technical magazines, but also all the classic items of a rural car boot sale: crockery, furniture, books, clothes, and trinkets. The combination is original and delightful.

For families, mechanics enthusiasts, and bargain hunters in the Saint-Dizier area, the Fête des Moteurs d'Arnancourt is a unique autumn event of its kind, a must-see in this beautiful corner of Haute-Marne.
