Brumath Grand Spring Car Boot Sale

A large-scale car boot sale north of Strasbourg

The Brumath Grand Spring Car Boot Sale benefits from a major advantage: the urban dimension of this commune of nearly 10,000 inhabitants, the second largest town in the Haguenau agglomeration and an attractive hub north of the Strasbourg urban area. This demographic base guarantees a high number of exhibitors — Brumath residents clearing their attics and cellars — and a considerable pool of visitors, drawing bargain hunters from Strasbourg, Haguenau, Bischwiller, Hoerdt and dozens of surrounding communes. The town centre streets are transformed into a vast open-air market, creating a browsing route of several hundred linear metres.

Treasures for all tastes

The variety of exhibitors, reflecting Brumath's sociological diversity, results in an exceptional choice of items: antique and contemporary furniture, crockery, glassware, clothing for all the family, shoes, toys for all ages, video games, books, comics, vinyls, CDs and DVDs, trinkets, decorative items, lighting, household linen, DIY tools, garden items, sports equipment (bicycles, ski, fitness), IT and electronic equipment, musical instruments, childcare items and countless curiosities. Professional second-hand and antique dealers complement the private sellers' offerings. Prices, generally very affordable, delight families and seasoned bargain hunters alike.

Brumath, a historic and dynamic town

Brumath (in Alsatian Bruemet) is a Bas-Rhin town rich in two-thousand-year history: the ancient Brocomagus, capital of the Gaulish Triboci tribe, later became an important Roman centre evidenced by archaeological remains discovered beneath the town. Today, Brumath is a dynamic residential commune, equipped with shops, services and an extremely rich community fabric. Located on the Strasbourg-Haguenau axis, served by train and road, it attracts many workers employed in the Strasbourg metropolis. The vitality of its sports, cultural and charitable associations is reflected in a dense and varied calendar of events, of which this grand spring car boot sale is one of the highlights.
