Car boot sale of Bizanet

The Bizanet Car Boot Sale

The village of Bizanet, located in the Corbières audoises a few kilometers from Narbonne, organizes a highly appreciated annual car boot sale for locals and bargain hunters in the region. This popular event transforms the village center into a vast, lively, and colorful second-hand market.

Bizanet, a Village in the Corbières

Bizanet belongs to the Corbières region, which extends between Narbonne and the first foothills of the Aude Pyrenees. Surrounded by vineyards producing AOC Corbières wines and fragrant scrubland, the village retains an authentic rural character. Its church and town hall in the central square host the car boot sale in a typical southern French village setting.

A Varied Second-Hand Market

The Bizanet car boot sale brings together exhibitors from the village and surrounding towns—Ornaisons, Villedaigne, Montséret, Saint-André-de-Roquelongue—to offer a wide variety of items: crockery and kitchenware, clothes of all sizes, furniture and small furnishings, books and magazines, old toys and games, tools, trinkets, and travel souvenirs. Prices are negotiable, and haggling is part of the game, in the best tradition of southern French car boot sales.

Southern Conviviality

Like many car boot sales in the Narbonne hinterland, the Bizanet event is distinguished by its friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Local volunteers run a refreshment stand on-site, allowing exhibitors and visitors to gather over coffee or a cold drink. It's also an opportunity for residents to meet and share a moment of community life that is the essence of small rural communes.

Access and Environment

Bizanet is easily accessible from Narbonne, about fifteen kilometers away, via the Route des Corbières. The car boot sale day can be combined with an exploration of the region's vineyards and wine cellars, or a visit to the Fontfroide Abbey, a Romanesque gem located a few kilometers away. The car boot sale takes place in the village center, where parking is available on adjacent streets.

Register as an Exhibitor

Individuals wishing to have a stall can inquire at the Bizanet town hall or the local festival committee. Priority registration is given to residents of the commune, but spaces are generally available for external exhibitors. Entry is free for all visitors.
