Les Forges Car Boot Sale

The Les Forges Car Boot Sale: A Summer Event in a Gâtine Village

Every summer, the village of Les Forges, situated in the Deux-Sèvres department between Parthenay and Ménigoute, organises a car boot sale that attracts bargain hunters from neighbouring communes. This small-scale event stands out for its relaxed atmosphere and authentic rural setting, in the heart of the preserved Gâtine poitevine countryside.

Bric-a-brac, Clothing and Everyday Items

Like any village car boot sale, the Les Forges event showcases everyday items: clothing for all ages, children's toys, crockery, books, trinkets and small furniture. Sellers, mostly private individuals, take the opportunity to clear out their attics while offering visitors great finds at low prices.
