Car boot sale of BSC Cournonsec

The BSC Cournonsec Car Boot Sale

The BSC (Boules Sportives de Cournonsec) organizes its car boot sale every year on rue du Jeu-de-Tambourin, a place steeped in sporting history in this Languedoc village. Private sellers offer clothes, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, and various objects. The profits from the event - registrations and refreshments - contribute to financing the bowls club and its activities.

Cournonsec, a Wine-Growing and Sporting Village

Cournonsec is a commune of about 3,500 inhabitants nestled between the garrigue scrubland and the wine-growing plain, west of Montpellier. The village has preserved a remarkable heritage with its Romanesque church, its old stone houses, and its wine cellars. Rue du Jeu-de-Tambourin recalls the tradition of 'tambourin', a Languedoc ball game still played in the region. Cournonsec cultivates this sporting and festive heritage.

Sport, Bargains, and Friendliness

The BSC car boot sale attracts residents from Cournonsec, Cournonterral, Pignan, and Fabrègues. The atmosphere is that of a village festival: people hunt for bargains, chat, and meet neighbors around the refreshment stand. The setting of rue du Jeu-de-Tambourin, with its plane trees and proximity to the old town center, adds to the charm of this village event. Entry is free.
