About La Ballu Garage Sale

The La Ballu garage sale takes place each year at the Ballastière lake in Saint-Martin-de-Sanzay, in northern Deux-Sèvres. Organised by the local festival committee, this outdoor event brings together private sellers and bargain hunters around stalls set in a green, lakeside setting. Toys, crockery, clothing, books and trinkets change hands at low prices in a festive and relaxed atmosphere, enhanced by refreshments and catering.

The La Ballu Garage Sale: A Day of Browsing by the Lake

Each summer, the Ballastière lake — affectionately known as 'La Ballu' by locals — hosts the annual garage sale of Saint-Martin-de-Sanzay. This family-friendly leisure site, lined with lawns and trees, offers an idyllic setting for a day of outdoor browsing. Exhibitors, mainly private sellers, display their attic treasures along shaded paths.

A Festive and Family-Friendly Garage Sale

The organisation is handled by the Saint-Martin-de-Sanzay festival committee. The on-site refreshment bar and catering allow visitors to spend the entire day by the water. Stall space costs just €1.50 per linear metre, a very affordable rate that attracts many exhibitors.

What You Can Find

The La Ballu garage sale is a classic: clothing of all sizes, toys, board games, crockery, small furniture, books, vinyl records and decorative objects. Prices are set by the private sellers themselves, ensuring gentle rates and great finds for early-morning visitors.
