Car Boot Sale of the Jardins de la Douzillère in Joué-lès-Tours, 300 pitches over 1 km
The Vide-greniers des Jardins de la Douzillère is one of the largest events of its kind in the Tours urban area. With nearly 300 pitches stretching over a kilometer in the Douzillère-Saint Gatien district south of Joué-lès-Tours, this car boot sale offers bargain hunters an exceptional journey of discovery, enhanced by entertainment and catering.
The Vide-greniers des Jardins de la Douzillère takes over the streets of the Douzillère-Saint Gatien district, south of Joué-lès-Tours. With nearly 300 pitches spread over one kilometer — rue Spaak, rue de la Haye, impasse de Strasbourg, and allée du Traité de Rome — it's a large-scale treasure hunt for visitors. You'll find clothes, toys, books, dishes, small furniture, tools, trinkets, and everyday items offered by private sellers in a festive neighborhood atmosphere.
Joué-lès-Tours, a municipality of Tours Métropole Val de Loire, is the second largest city in the Indre-et-Loire department. Located south of Tours, it benefits from the immediate proximity of the Cher river and vast green spaces. The city is accessible by tramway from the center of Tours, making it easy for bargain hunters from all over the urban area to visit. The local heritage includes the Château de la Vallière and beautiful public gardens, testaments to the art of living in Touraine.
The Vide-greniers des Jardins de la Douzillère is not just about bargain hunting. Entertainment punctuates the day, and food and drink stands allow you to refuel between finds. Admission is free and the event is accessible by public transport (tramway, bus).
The Vide-greniers des Jardins de la Douzillère returns on Sunday, April 12, 2026, in Joué-lès-Tours. 300 pitches, free admission.
