Car boot sale of Bègles traders

The traders' car boot sale on cours Victor Hugo

Every spring, the traders of Bègles organise a car boot sale on the cours Victor Hugo, the main street of the town. This event combines the commercial dynamism of the neighbourhood and the friendly spirit of a car boot sale. Private exhibitors set up their stalls along this wide avenue lined with plane trees, while the shops and restaurants on the cours remain open and sometimes offer special events. You can find clothes, toys, books, crockery, trinkets and various objects on the stalls.

Bègles, a creative and popular town

Bègles is a town of over 28,000 inhabitants, located south of Bordeaux. Historically linked to the cod drying industry, the town has been profoundly transformed in recent decades and is now known for its cultural dynamism. The Musée de la Création Franche, the Machines de l'Île and numerous art galleries bear witness to this creative effervescence. The cours Victor Hugo, which runs through the town centre, is the commercial heart of Bègles, with its independent shops, restaurants and cafés.

An event that supports local commerce

The car boot sale of Bègles traders is above all an event to promote local commerce. By attracting visitors to cours Victor Hugo, traders hope to introduce them to their shops and build customer loyalty. The atmosphere is festive and popular, reflecting the spirit of Bègles. Entry is free and access is facilitated by tram line C, which serves the centre of Bègles. The event usually takes place on a Sunday in late March.
