Chastenuel Car Boot Sale — Jax

The Chastenuel Car Boot Sales in Jax

Jax, a rural commune in Haute-Loire, has the hamlet of Chastenuel, an idyllic setting for an annual car boot sale organized by its dynamic Comité des Fêtes. Every first Sunday of July, this charming village welcomes exhibitors and visitors in an authentic atmosphere reminiscent of the golden age of village festivals of yesteryear.

Free pitches, setup from 6 am

The Comité des Fêtes de Jax has chosen total generosity: pitches are entirely free for all exhibitors, regardless of status. This open and barrier-free policy is one of the major assets of the Chastenuel car boot sale. Furthermore, setup is possible from 6 am, allowing the earliest exhibitors to secure the best spots and adventurous bargain hunters to start their flea market tour at dawn.

Chastenuel, a charming hamlet

Chastenuel is a typical hamlet in Haute-Loire, with its basalt houses and cobbled streets. Far from the urban hustle and bustle, this preserved place offers a unique setting for a car boot sale: the items on display seem to find their natural place in this authentic rural decor. The volcanic stone of the buildings, the flower gardens, and the views of the surrounding landscapes create a unique atmosphere that participants appreciate as much as the items themselves.

The Comité des Fêtes de Jax

The Comité des Fêtes de Jax is the association that animates the festive life of the commune throughout the year. Its annual July car boot sale is one of the highlights of the communal calendar. The committee's volunteers are committed to welcoming exhibitors, guiding visitors, and creating the warm atmosphere that characterizes the most successful rural events. The free pitches are a deliberate choice that reflects the association's values of sharing and openness.

An event rooted in Livradois-Forez

Jax is located in the Livradois-Forez region, a vast natural area stretching between Haute-Loire and Puy-de-Dôme. The landscapes of forests, meadows, and basalt villages form a remarkable environment for lovers of nature and heritage. The Chastenuel car boot sale fits perfectly into this setting, like an open window onto rural life of the past.
