Car boot sale of the 4 Paws of Gruissan

A car boot sale for animals

The Gruissanot 4 Paws Car Boot Sale is a solidarity market organized by the association Les 4 Pattes Gruissanot, whose mission is to care for, sterilize, and feed the stray cats of Gruissan and the surrounding towns. The profits from this car boot sale are entirely donated to this local animal cause.

The Pirat Parc Parking, summer setting for the event

The markets are held at the Pirat Parc Parking in Gruissan, a seaside resort in the Aude region known for its sandy beaches and lagoons. This convenient location, in the heart of the tourist area, attracts both permanent residents and holidaymakers passing through, who are looking to find treasures or clear out their holiday belongings.

Organization and conditions

The car boot sales are mainly held on Saturdays in July and August, from 6 am to 1 pm. The prices are €15 for cars (over 2 days) and €20 for vans (over 2 days), with the option to participate for a single day. Booking is mandatory, and participants are required to leave the pitch clean, or risk exclusion. The sale of fruits and vegetables is permitted.
