Car boot sales of the Assemblée of Varennes-sur-Loire

Car Boot Sales of the Assemblée in Varennes-sur-Loire

In Varennes-sur-Loire (49730), the Car Boot Sales of the Assemblée bring together exhibitors and visitors in a festive atmosphere, enhanced by musical entertainment. The musical dimension distinguishes this event from ordinary flea markets: local bands, amateur or professional musicians liven up the day, transforming the car boot sale into a true village festival.

The Assemblée is an old institution in the villages of the Loire Valley: this patronal or communal festival brings together the inhabitants around various activities, of which the car boot sale has become one of the highlights. The combination of flea market and music attracts a wider audience, with families and revelers mingling in good spirits.

Exhibitors offer their selection of second-hand items: clothing and accessories, furniture and decorative objects, books and cultural media, vinyl records and CDs, toys and games, crockery and tableware, trinkets and curiosities, tools and garden equipment. The setting of the Val de Loire Saumurois adds a remarkable heritage note to this popular event.
