Sauvain, a mountain village perched at 1,200 meters altitude in the Monts du Forez, celebrates its Airelle-Blueberry Festival every August 15th. This traditional festival, which honors the small wild berries harvested in the surrounding moors, includes a car boot sale and a flea market that attract treasure hunters from all over the Forez plain.
The Musée de la Fourme de Sauvain and the Comité des Fêtes orchestrate this day full of discoveries. In addition to the car boot sale, visitors can enjoy local craft stands, tastings of Fourme de Montbrison cheese and blueberries, and musical entertainment. The mountain setting, between summer pastures and fir forests, offers an exceptional backdrop for treasure hunting. Hunters find rustic objects, trinkets, tableware, and attic curiosities.
