Grand Vide-grenier d'Ussel — Le Brignon

Grand Vide-grenier d'Ussel — July 2025

On Sunday, July 20, 2025, the village of Ussel in the commune of Le Brignon hosted its traditional grand summer car boot sale. From 7:30 in the morning, exhibitors began to set up freely, taking advantage of the free pitches and the absence of prior registration to display their items in the squares and streets of the village.

The morning was enlivened by the comings and goings of bargain hunters and curious onlookers, who came to rummage through the stalls in search of rare finds. Countryside furniture, old tableware, tools, clothing, and trinkets of all kinds found buyers in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, typical of these rural car boot sales in Haute-Loire.

At noon, the Chez Monique restaurant delighted diners with its traditional méchoui, a spit-roasted lamb generously served at the establishment's tables. This moment of gastronomic sharing has become a tradition in itself for the Ussel car boot sale, attracting participants each year who reserve their spot in advance. The day continued until mid-afternoon, concluding with satisfaction this summer event in the commune of Le Brignon.
