Flea market - Car boot sale of the Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers of Soizé

The flea market of the Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers of Soizé

Every spring, in April, the Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers of Soizé organizes its large flea market and car boot sale in Authon-du-Perche (28330). This annual event is one of the highlights of the local calendar in this town in the Perche eurelien, located in the heart of the Parc Naturel Régional du Perche.

The event is deeply rooted in local associative tradition. The Amicale des Sapeurs-Pompiers, a very active association in Authon-du-Perche, uses it as an opportunity for community gathering, benefiting its activities and solidarity among firefighters.

A day rich in activities

The Soizé flea market stands out for the diversity of its program. Beyond the flea market stalls and car boot sale areas where individuals and bargain hunters exchange all sorts of items, the day offers other typically Percheron activities:

• Traditional bread making: a demonstration that recalls the traditional rural know-how of the Perche region.
• Percheron market: a market for local products from the Perche region.
• Refreshments and food on site, to enjoy the day in a friendly atmosphere.
