Car boot sale of the Friends of Urdy - Saint-Pantaléon-les-Vignes

Les Amis d'Urdy: a village association serving the community

In Saint-Pantaléon-les-Vignes, the Les Amis d'Urdy association is the driving force behind local community life. Named after the hamlet of Urdy, one of the local place names, this association organizes activities throughout the year that unite the village community. The annual two-day car boot sale is its flagship event, eagerly awaited by residents and bargain hunters in the region.

A two-day car boot sale: a popular format

The weekend format — Saturday and Sunday — of the Vide-grenier des Amis d'Urdy is particularly popular. It allows exhibitors to maximize their sales opportunities and visitors to come at their convenience, without feeling rushed. This two-day format is relatively rare in small villages and gives the event an exceptional character.

Saint-Pantaléon-les-Vignes, a forgotten village in the Baronnies

Saint-Pantaléon-les-Vignes is one of those discreet and preserved villages that the Baronnies drômoises hold secret. Its name evokes both its patron saint and the vines that surround it. Located in the hills between Nyons and Valréas, this village lives to the rhythm of the agricultural seasons and a few annual events that punctuate local life. The Baronnies offer a landscape of Provençal mountains of great serenity, far from mass tourism.

A region between Provence and Dauphiné

The Baronnies drômoises, of which Saint-Pantaléon-les-Vignes is a part, form a transitional territory between Provence and Dauphiné. The vegetation — holm oaks, lavender, vines, olive trees — speaks the language of the South, while the limestone mountains evoke the pre-Alps. This distinctive region, little known but deeply endearing, deserves to be discovered during a car boot sale like that of Les Amis d'Urdy.
