Les Puces d'Été à Santa Fé: Sainte-Féréole's Big Car Boot Sale

Every summer in July, the Comité des Fêtes de Sainte-Féréole takes over the Place de l'Église to organize Les Puces d'Été à Santa Fé, a large-scale car boot sale that attracts between 100 and 200 exhibitors. This summer event has become a must-visit for bargain hunters from the Bassin de Brive and beyond, thanks to the richness of its offerings and its friendly atmosphere.

A Generous Car Boot Sale Around the Church

The stalls extend all around the church of Sainte-Féréole and onto the adjacent square, offering a picturesque setting for treasure hunting. For €1.25 per square meter (or about €10 for an 8 m² pitch), private and professional exhibitors can set up from 6 am. A coffee is offered free of charge to each participant, an appreciated gesture that contributes to the event's warm atmosphere.

Hike and Gastronomy as a Complement

The originality of Les Puces d'Été à Santa Fé also lies in the accompanying hike: two to three walking routes start from the village and pass through the market, allowing hikers to combine sporting activity with browsing the stalls. On-site catering, with refreshments, grills, and fries, as well as meal platters available by reservation, allows for a pleasant extension of the day.

Sainte-Féréole, at the Gates of Brive

Sainte-Féréole, a charming village perched on the hills overlooking Brive-la-Gaillarde, offers a remarkable panorama of the Corrèze valley. Its church and shaded square provide an ideal setting for this summer car boot sale. Just a few kilometers from Brive, Sainte-Féréole combines the tranquility of the Corrèze countryside with proximity to urban amenities.
