Car boot sale École de Bassac

The Bassac school car boot sale

Each spring, the parents of the students of the Pierre Marcilhacy primary school in Bassac organize a car boot sale near the establishment, at 2 route de Condé. This friendly event helps to raise funds to finance educational projects and school trips for the children, while offering a popular flea market for local residents.

Bassac, village of the abbey on the banks of the Charente

Bassac is a charming village in the Charente valley, between Jarnac and Châteauneuf-sur-Charente. It is famous for its Saint-Étienne Abbey, founded in the 11th century, a jewel of Romanesque and Gothic architecture that attracts many visitors each year. The car boot sale is part of the community life of this dynamic village, where the school is a pillar of the community.

A family and solidarity car boot sale

The event mainly brings together individuals from the village and surrounding areas who take advantage of this day to clear out their attics and offer clothes, toys, crockery, books, and various items at low prices. The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, with a refreshment stand and often a cake stand run by volunteer parents.

In the heart of the Cognac vineyards

Bassac is located in the heart of the Cognac vineyards, in the Fins Bois area. Visitors who come to hunt for treasures in the morning can extend their getaway with a walk along the Charente or a visit to the abbey, making this outing a complete moment of relaxation in a remarkable heritage setting.
