Car boot sale of the Vinay Twinning Committee

An original winter car boot sale

Among the many car boot sales in Isère, the one organized by the Vinay twinning committee stands out for its winter schedule, in February. This unusual period for a car boot sale offers bargain hunters a rare opportunity to rummage through stalls in the middle of winter, when most flea markets have not yet started their season.

In aid of twinning

The Vinay twinning committee organizes this car boot sale to finance activities related to the commune's international exchanges. The profits allow for exchange trips and the reception of delegations from twinned towns. This solidarity purpose gives the event a human dimension appreciated by participants who, by bargain hunting, contribute to Vinay's international influence.

Vinay, capital of the walnut

Located in the Isère valley, at the foot of the Vercors massif, Vinay is known as the capital of the Grenoble walnut. This small town of about 4,500 inhabitants benefits from a remarkable natural setting between the foothills of the Vercors and the hillsides covered with walnut trees. The local heritage and gastronomy, with the famous AOP Grenoble walnut, contribute to the attractiveness of the commune.

A meeting for locals

The twinning committee's car boot sale mainly attracts residents of Vinay and surrounding towns in the Sud-Grésivaudan region. It is a human-scale event, in the spirit of small-town flea markets, where people come as much for the bargains as for human contact and conviviality.
