Car boot sale of the Basilics of La Sauve

The Basilics car boot sale: bargain hunting in the shade of the abbey of La Sauve-Majeure

La Sauve (33670), a historic commune in Entre-deux-Mers famous for the ruins of the abbey of La Sauve-Majeure, a UNESCO World Heritage site, hosts the car boot sale of the association les Basilics every year. This village event combines the hunt for second-hand items with the discovery of an exceptional heritage site.

Les Basilics, a dynamic association serving the village

The association les Basilics is one of the driving forces of local life in La Sauve. By organizing this annual car boot sale, it finances its associative and cultural activities while creating a moment of conviviality for the inhabitants. Exhibitors offer clothing, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, small furniture, tools, and decorative objects in the communal areas of the village. The refreshment stand and homemade cakes complete this village day.

La Sauve, medieval jewel of Entre-deux-Mers

La Sauve, a commune of about 1,800 inhabitants, derives its name from the "silva major" (great forest) that once covered the region. The Benedictine abbey, founded in 1079, whose majestic ruins overlook the landscape, attracts thousands of visitors each year. The medieval village, with its stone houses and gardens, offers a picturesque setting for a car boot sale where heritage blends with the spirit of bargain hunting.
