Car boot sale of the Accorderie de Galaure

The car boot sale of the Accorderie de Galaure: solidarity and treasure hunting in northern Drôme

The Accorderie de Galaure organizes its annual car boot sale in Châteauneuf-de-Galaure, combining the tradition of treasure hunting with the philosophy of the solidarity economy. This popular car boot sale embodies the values of the Accorderie: mutual aid, sharing, reuse, and accessibility for all, regardless of social status.

The Accorderie, a service exchange network

An Accorderie is a service exchange network based on reciprocity and fairness. In this system, time is the currency: one hour of service given is worth one hour of service received, regardless of the nature of the skills exchanged. The Accorderie de Galaure manages this network in the Galaure valley and its surroundings, in northern Drôme. Organizing a car boot sale helps finance the network's activities and raises awareness in the local community about the principles of sharing and solidarity.

Châteauneuf-de-Galaure, a village in the Val de Galaure

Châteauneuf-de-Galaure is a commune in northern Drôme, the capital of the canton of Galaure and Valdaine. This village is known as the birthplace and home of Marthe Robin (1902-1981), a Catholic mystic whose beatification process is underway. The village houses the "Centre de rencontres" founded by Marthe Robin, which attracts pilgrims from all over the world. The Galaure, a small river that winds through the wooded valley, gives its name to this green and preserved area of northern Drôme.
