The July 14th Car Boot Sale in Venerque: 100 exhibitors in the heart of the town

Every July 14th, Venerque (31810) celebrates the national holiday with a large car boot sale in the Allée du Duc de Ventadour, the shaded promenade along the historic center of this medieval town on the banks of the Ariège. About 100 private exhibitors set up along this avenue to offer a wide range of second-hand items.

The Allée du Duc de Ventadour, a green setting

The Allée du Duc de Ventadour is one of the most pleasant places in Venerque: a shaded promenade lined with century-old plane trees offering an ideal setting for a summer car boot sale. Stalls line up under the foliage, sheltered from the July sun. Visitors wander among the stalls of clothes, toys, books, dishes, trinkets, small furniture, and collectibles in a festive atmosphere.

Venerque, medieval town on the Ariège

Venerque is a commune of about 3,000 inhabitants located south of Toulouse, on the banks of the Ariège. This medieval town with its rich architectural heritage — fortified church, half-timbered houses, ramparts — attracts visitors all year round. July 14th is one of the highlights of local life, combining republican tradition and village conviviality.

National holiday and bargain hunting go hand in hand

The car boot sale is part of the program for the July 14th festivities in Venerque. From the morning, bargain hunters browse the aisles while the afternoon and evening are dedicated to entertainment, popular dancing, and fireworks. Refreshments and food on site allow visitors to enjoy the entire day in a patriotic and warm atmosphere.
