The Grand Loire Saint-Marc Car Boot Sale, a Popular Neighborhood Event

Every May, the Comité des Fêtes Loire Saint-Marc organizes its annual grand car boot sale in the streets of the neighborhood of the same name in Orléans. This popular event, eagerly awaited by residents of the neighborhood and surrounding areas, takes place in Rue Henri Lavedan and Rue Georges Goyau, offering visitors a pleasant stroll through this residential district of Orléans.

An Open-Air Street Market in a Loire Neighborhood

The Loire Saint-Marc neighborhood, located on the banks of the royal river north of Orléans, offers a pleasant and green living environment. During the car boot sale, its residential streets are transformed into a large, lively street market where exhibitors—mainly individuals wanting to clear out their attics—offer a wide variety of items: clothing for all ages, books, toys, furniture, dishes, appliances, tools, and various curiosities.

Friendly Organization by the Comité des Fêtes

The Comité des Fêtes Loire Saint-Marc, a key player in the neighborhood's community life, organizes this event with the support of volunteers and residents. The goal is twofold: to allow neighborhood residents to clear out their attics and to come together in a festive and friendly atmosphere. The car boot sale day is thus much more than just a second-hand market: it's a neighborhood celebration that brings generations together and creates social bonds.
