Car boot sale of May 1st in Castillon-Savès

The May 1st car boot sale in Castillon-Savès

Every May 1st, the village of Castillon-Savès hosts its annual car boot sale, a spring tradition that marks the return of sunny days in this small Gers commune located between Samatan and L'Isle-Jourdain. Exclusively reserved for private sellers, this car boot sale favors authenticity and conviviality, far from the professional flea market circuits.

An event reserved for individuals

The peculiarity of the Castillon-Savès car boot sale lies in its admission policy: only private sellers are accepted. This focus guarantees visitors a varied and accessible offering, composed of everyday items sold by their owners: clothes, children's toys, crockery, trinkets, books, garden tools, small furniture, and treasures from Gers attics. Prices remain reasonable, and friendly negotiation is part of the pleasure of bargain hunting.

Castillon-Savès, between the Save river and the Gers hills

Castillon-Savès is a rural commune in the canton of Samatan, with postal code 32130. The village takes its name from the Save river that flows through the commune, offering a hilly landscape typical of Toulouse Gascony. This area of mixed farming, between cereals and livestock, retains a preserved rural character, with its Gascon farms and country lanes.

May 1st, a tradition of Gers car boot sales

In the Gers region, May 1st is a preferred date for spring car boot sales. Labour Day, a public holiday, allows families to enjoy a full day of bargain hunting and strolling. Castillon-Savès is part of this Gascon tradition, where many villages organize their events on this day, offering enthusiasts a real flea market circuit through the Gers countryside.

An outdoor day in the Gers

The Castillon-Savès car boot sale is the ideal opportunity to combine a bargain hunting outing with the discovery of this corner of Gascony. Visitors can then extend the day by exploring the neighboring villages of Samatan, known for its foie gras market, or L'Isle-Jourdain, with its collegiate church and the banks of the Save river. A full day in the spirit of "living the Gers way".
