Annual Grand Car Boot Sale — Around the Alliage, Olivet, September
Every September, USM Olivet Basket (USMO) organizes its big 'foire à tout' around the cultural center l'Alliage in Olivet. This giant car boot sale, a must-attend event for the start of the school year in the Orléans area, attracts hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of visitors for a day of bargain hunting in the open air. The USMO Basket 'foire à tout' is one of the flagship events of the Olivet calendar, serving the local basketball club.
Every September, USM Olivet Basket (USMO) organizes its traditional 'foire à tout' around l'Alliage, the cultural center of the town of Olivet. This unmissable back-to-school event in the Orléans agglomeration brings together exhibitors and visitors in a festive atmosphere for a great day of open-air car boot sale, in support of the local basketball club.
The cultural center l'Alliage, located in the heart of Olivet, offers a spacious and well-equipped setting to host this large-scale event. The areas around l'Alliage can accommodate numerous exhibitors in an accessible and pleasant environment, a stone's throw from the shops in the center of Olivet and easily accessible by car or public transport from the entire Orléans agglomeration.
The USMO Basket 'foire à tout' is more than just a second-hand market: it is the key fundraising event for the Olivet basketball club. The revenue generated from exhibitor registration fees helps support the sporting activities of the youth and senior teams, finance equipment and travel, and sustain the club's actions in Olivet's sporting life. Participating in this event therefore also means supporting local sports.
Over the years, USMO Basket has developed a perfectly honed organization for this annual event. Exhibitors can register in advance (registrations are usually closed two days before the event) to reserve their spot. The fair runs from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM, offering both exhibitors and visitors a long day of market trading. Catering is provided on-site by club volunteers.
The USMO Basket 'foire à tout' is held every third Sunday in September (in 2025: Sunday, September 14 or 15 depending on the year), from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM, around l'Alliage in Olivet. Exhibitor registrations are usually open until the Friday before the event.
The USMO Basket 'foire à tout' returns in September 2026 around l'Alliage in Olivet. Large back-to-school car boot sale, 6:30 AM - 6:30 PM. Proceeds to the local basketball club. Free entry for visitors.
