Capens, a village on the banks of the Garonne

Capens is a rural commune in the Haute-Garonne department, located in the Garonne valley, between Carbonne and Noé, about 40 km south of Toulouse. The village, which is part of the community of communes of Volvestre, extends between the river's alluvial plain and the first hillsides. Its rural setting, with its fertile agricultural land and walking paths along the Garonne, makes it a pleasant place for outdoor events. The Volvestre region is known for the quality of its landscapes and its preserved rural way of life.

Bargain hunting on the banks of the Garonne

The Capens car boot sale attracts bargain hunters from surrounding communes. You can find a wide variety of second-hand items: clothing, toys, tableware, books, trinkets, small furniture, and decorative objects. The rural setting and the human scale of the event guarantee a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere, far from the hustle and bustle of large urban flea markets. Bargain hunters appreciate the proximity between the stalls and the opportunity to chat with each exhibitor.
