The APEAI Car Boot Sale in Salies-du-Salat

The Parents' Association of the Salies-du-Salat schools (APEAI) organizes a car boot sale every June on Boulevard Jean Jaurès, the main street of this small spa town in Comminges. This popular event brings together exhibitors and visitors in a relaxed, family atmosphere, in the heart of the Salat valley.

Boulevard Jean Jaurès in Celebration

Boulevard Jean Jaurès offers an ideal setting for this car boot sale: wide and lined with plane trees, it allows for numerous outdoor stalls while offering welcome shade to visitors. You'll find the classic assortment of car boot sales: clothes for the whole family, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, small furniture, childcare items, and various objects. Prices are generally very attractive, the main goal being to give objects a second life.

Salies-du-Salat, Spa Town of Comminges

Salies-du-Salat owes its name to the salt springs that have gushed from its subsoil since antiquity. This small town of about 2,000 inhabitants, nestled in the Salat valley between Saint-Gaudens and Saint-Girons, retains a rich spa heritage with its old bathhouses and thermal park. The car boot sale is part of the tradition of events in this dynamic town that cultivates its Comminges art de vivre.

For the Children of Salies

The funds raised by the APEAI during this car boot sale are used to finance educational outings, school projects, and extracurricular activities for the pupils of the Salies-du-Salat schools. The refreshment stand and catering, run by volunteer parents, complete this day dedicated to solidarity and conviviality.
