La Ferté Car Boot Sale

The La Ferté Car Boot Sale

The village of La Ferté organizes its annual car boot sale every June. Private sellers take over the village streets to offer visitors a wide variety of second-hand items. This bargain hunting event attracts bargain lovers from surrounding towns, who come to enjoy the mild Jura spring weather to search the stalls for unexpected finds.

A village between Dole and Arbois

La Ferté is a small village in the Jura plain, located halfway between Dole and Arbois, in the Val d'Amour community of communes. The village, which has about 150 inhabitants, retains an authentic rural character with its stone houses and quiet streets. Surrounded by cultivated fields and meadows, it offers an ideal setting for a country car boot sale, far from the hustle and bustle of big cities.

Bargain hunting at low prices

The atmosphere of the La Ferté car boot sale is that of a village flea market where you take the time to rummage and chat with the sellers. You can find everything: old crockery, children's toys, clothes, books, vinyl records, garden tools, and small furniture. Prices are particularly attractive and haggling is part of the game. Early bird bargain hunters often find the best treasures.

A friendly day

The car boot sale is held on a Sunday in June. Admission is free for visitors. The refreshment stand and small catering on site allow you to eat between browsing the stalls. It is also an opportunity for the inhabitants of La Ferté and neighboring villages to meet in a festive and relaxed atmosphere. The rural setting of the Val d'Amour, with its green meadows and surrounding woods, adds to the charm of this spring bargain hunting day in the Jura countryside.
