Grand Summer Car Boot Sale in Ganges

The summer meeting point for Cévenol bargain hunters

Ganges (34190), a lively small town nestled at the confluence of the Hérault and the Vis rivers, at the gateway to the Cévennes, hosts its Grand Car Boot Sale every summer at the Cayrel stadium. From 6 am to 2 pm, exhibitors set up their stalls on generous 18 m² (6 m x 3 m) pitches. Clothing, toys, books, crockery, furniture, vinyl records, and collector's items attract early morning bargain hunters in a relaxed summer atmosphere.

Ganges, gateway to the Cévennes and silk capital

Once the silk capital, Ganges retains from its manufacturing past beautiful bourgeois residences and shaded streets along the Hérault. The Tuesday market, the nearby Gorges de la Vis, and the Cirque de Navacelles make it a popular holiday destination. The Cayrel stadium, located on the riverbank, offers a pleasant and shaded setting for this car boot sale, which has become an unmissable summer event in the Hérault region.
