Grand Car Boot Sale of Bourgoin-Jallieu

The big car boot sale of Bourgoin-Jallieu: a must-see for the back-to-school season

Every year, on the last weekend of September, Bourgoin-Jallieu hosts its big car boot sale. Organized by the RKM association (bikers association), this event has become an awaited meeting for bargain hunters from Nord-Isère and the Lyon basin.

A car boot sale open to all

The originality of this car boot sale lies in its organization by an association of motorcycle enthusiasts who put their energy into a popular event. Exhibitors are welcomed from 6 am, without prior reservation, which gives the event a spontaneous and accessible character. Visitors can browse the stalls throughout the day.

Bourgoin-Jallieu, capital of Nord-Isère

Sub-prefecture of Isère, Bourgoin-Jallieu is the main town of Nord-Isère with its 28,000 inhabitants. Historically known for its textile industry and weaving, the town has reinvented itself around commerce and culture. The Bourgoin-Jallieu Museum retraces this fascinating textile history. The September car boot sale contributes to the city's liveliness during this back-to-school period.

Friendly atmosphere and catering

The volunteers of the RKM association provide a refreshment stand and light catering throughout the day. The atmosphere is relaxed, reflecting the organizing association, and the car boot sale attracts a family and intergenerational audience who come to hunt for bargains, stroll, and enjoy a friendly moment.
