Car Boot Sale of the Gevrolles Festival Committee

Car Boot Sale of the Gevrolles Festival Committee

The Car Boot Sale of the Festival Committee of Gevrolles (52120) is one of the summer events that pleasantly punctuate the summer in this area of Bassigny, in the southeast of Haute-Marne. Organized every July, it brings together 53 exhibitors in this village in the canton of Bourbonne-les-Bains, in an authentic popular festival atmosphere.

Gevrolles is a rural commune in Bassigny, this vast natural region of hills and forests that extends between Haute-Marne and Haute-Saône. The village, like many of its neighbors, is marked by a traditional agricultural heritage and a strong cultural identity. The festival committee plays an essential role in local entertainment, and the car boot sale is its most popular event of the year.

With 53 exhibitors, the event reaches a comfortable size that allows for a good variety of items without losing the intimacy of a village car boot sale. The stalls offer the classics of rural flea markets: crockery, old textiles, furniture, tools, books, toys, and bric-a-brac of all kinds. Houses in Bassigny, built with local stone, often hold unsuspected treasures that their owners are happy to offer to the public on this day.

The month of July is conducive to this type of event: the Bourbonne-les-Bains region welcomes spa guests and holidaymakers who swell the usual village audience. This mix of audiences – locals and visitors – contributes to the liveliness and success of the event. The day unfolds in a relaxed atmosphere, typical of summer village car boot sales in Haute-Marne.

For bargain hunting enthusiasts who wish to discover Bassigny, the Gevrolles car boot sale is an excellent excuse to explore this little-known and endearing region, between forests, meadows, and charming villages.
