Affieux Car Boot Sale

The August 15th Car Boot Sale in Affieux: A Summer Tradition in Corrèze

Every August 15th, Assumption Day, the Affieux stadium hosts its annual car boot sale, a now traditional event in this corner of Corrèze located between Treignac and Égletons. About forty private sellers set up on the grounds to offer their second-hand items, trinkets, crockery, toys, books, and other attic treasures.

A Green Setting at the Gates of the Millevaches Plateau

Affieux, a small village in Corrèze nestled in wooded hills at the gates of the Millevaches en Limousin Regional Natural Park, offers a bucolic setting for an outdoor treasure hunting day. The Bariousses lake, located a few kilometers away, is a popular swimming and leisure spot for holidaymakers, making this August 15th a perfect stop between treasure hunting and relaxing by the water.

A Family and Authentic Atmosphere

Far from the hustle and bustle of large urban car boot sales, the Affieux car boot sale cultivates an intimate and authentic atmosphere. Interactions between sellers and buyers are good-natured, and bargains abound for those who know how to search. It's also an opportunity to enjoy the charm of this Corrèze village, with its granite houses and rolling landscapes typical of the Limousin region.
