Beaudinard Car Boot Sale in Aubagne

The Beaudinard Car Boot Sale: Hunting for treasures in the heart of Aubagne

The Beaudinard district, located north of Aubagne, regularly hosts its car boot sale on the Route de Beaudinard. This popular event brings together up to 55 sellers who empty their cellars, attics, and closets to offer visitors a multitude of items at low prices. From 6:30 in the morning, the earliest bargain hunters can browse the stalls and find the best deals before the crowds arrive.

Aubagne, land of Pagnol and santons

Aubagne is a town with an exceptional cultural heritage. Birthplace of Marcel Pagnol, whose work immortalized the hills and Provençal life, the city is also recognized as the capital of santons and art ceramics. The santonniers' workshops, true guardians of ancestral know-how, are the pride of the town. The Beaudinard district, with its surrounding hills and Mediterranean vegetation, embodies the authentic Provence dear to Pagnol.

Accessible and Free Car Boot Sale

Entry to the Beaudinard car boot sale is completely free for visitors. Nearby parking provides easy access. Sellers wishing to book a spot must make their reservation by SMS only, before the Thursday evening preceding the event. This simple and direct organization reflects the friendly and unpretentious spirit of this neighborhood gathering.

Varied finds for all tastes

The stalls at the Beaudinard car boot sale offer the typical diversity of Provençal car boot sales: crockery and pottery, books and vinyl records, clothing and accessories, toys and games, small furniture and decoration, tools and garden equipment.
