The Car boot sale of Éclaron-Braucourt-Sainte-Livière

The Car boot sale of Éclaron-Braucourt-Sainte-Livière (52290) is a highly appreciated summer event in this area of Der-Chantecoq. Organized in August, it benefits from the high tourist influx that the town experiences during the summer season thanks to its proximity to the largest artificial lake in France.

Éclaron-Braucourt-Sainte-Livière is a commune whose history is inseparable from the creation of the Der-Chantecoq lake, inaugurated in 1974. The construction of the lake led to the disappearance of several villages under the water, and Éclaron found itself on the edge of this new body of water, becoming one of the privileged access points to this exceptional natural site. In summer, the area welcomes many holidaymakers attracted by water activities, ornithology, and green tourism.

The car boot sale fits perfectly into this tourist context: it offers passing visitors additional entertainment and residents the opportunity to find bargains or clear out their attics. Exhibitors offer the usual range of second-hand items: crockery, furniture, clothing, books, toys, appliances, and various curiosities.

The event is distinct from the professional flea market organized by the ACDI in June at the same location. This summer car boot sale is more geared towards individuals, in a relaxed and family atmosphere that perfectly matches the holiday spirit prevailing in this corner of Haute-Marne in the middle of August.
