Browse by the water at the Ballastière lake in Saint-Martin-de-Sanzay
There is no edition scheduled in 2026 for this event. This page remains accessible to archive the history of the manifestation and will be updated if a new edition is announced.
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.
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.
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.
ℹ️ 2026 edition not confirmed. At the time of our editorial verification (May 2026), we found no public source (organizer, town hall, aggregator, local press) announcing a 2026 edition of the Ballu car boot sale in Saint-Martin-de-Sanzay. Available sources also place this annual car boot sale at the end of August (and not end of June). If you are the organizer and this flea market is indeed taking place, please do not hesitate to inform us via the modification form on the listing.
