Fête des Nouveaux Greniers

The Fête des Nouveaux Greniers in Châteaudun

In May, as the days lengthen and the temperatures soften, Châteaudun celebrates the renewal of spring with its Fête des Nouveaux Greniers. This car boot sale marks the beginning of the beautiful season in the Dunoise city and offers the ideal opportunity to clear out cellars and attics after winter.

A Seasonal Car Boot Sale

The Fête des Nouveaux Greniers draws its name from the tradition that spring is the opportune season for a big clean-out and renewal. Individuals from Châteaudun and neighboring towns bring out the items accumulated over the winter: clothes, books, toys, dishes, decorations, electronics, small furniture… Each stall tells a story and offers the opportunity to give objects a second life rather than throwing them away.

The Spirit of the Local Car Boot Sale

This type of event, deeply rooted in local life, is an opportunity for residents to meet, exchange, and create social bonds around a festive and economical activity. The Fête des Nouveaux Greniers contributes to the animation of Châteaudun's town center and the associative life of the Dunoise city. It is part of the rich calendar of outdoor events that mark the life of this city of art and history in Eure-et-Loir.

Châteaudun in Spring

Châteaudun in May is a city awakening: café terraces reopen, the medieval castle overlooks the Loir river in its spring greenery, and the historic streets come back to life. The Fête des Nouveaux Greniers is part of this seasonal renaissance and invites families and bargain hunters for an outdoor season opener.
