Car boot sale of the Festival de la Terre de Prunay

The Car boot sale of the Festival de la Terre in Prunay

The Car boot sale of the Festival de la Terre de Prunay is a unique event organized every May 1st by the ADPFF (Association for the Development of Paragliding, Gliding and Funambulism — or local aeronautical association) at the Prunay Aérodrome (51360). This car boot sale stands out for its exceptional setting and its association with the Festival de la Terre, which makes this May 1st an extraordinary day.

Labor Day, the public holiday on May 1st, is traditionally dedicated to union demonstrations and spring festivities. In Prunay, it takes on a special dimension thanks to this double event which combines a car boot sale and a festival, attracting a large and diverse crowd to the town's aerodrome.

The Prunay Aérodrome, an exceptional setting

The Prunay Aérodrome is a remarkable aeronautical site, ideally located in the Champagne plain east of Reims. Its generous space allows it to host a car boot sale in perfect conditions, with numerous stalls arranged over the vast flat area of the aerodrome. The setting is unique: among the planes and gliders, treasure hunters browse the aisles in search of bargains, in a festive and original atmosphere.

The combination of the car boot sale and the Festival de la Terre creates a double attraction that draws a wider audience than each event taken separately. Aviation and free flight enthusiasts mingle with treasure hunters and families who come to enjoy May 1st outdoors. The atmosphere is festive, friendly, and family-oriented, characteristic of the great outdoor events in the Champagne region.

The Festival de la Terre, the anchor of the event

The Festival de la Terre is the central event around which the car boot sale is organized. This festival, themed around nature and the environment, offers entertainment, exhibitions, and shows related to the challenges of the earth and sustainable development. The car boot sale naturally fits into this environmental approach, by promoting reuse and the circular economy.

The ADPFF, organizer of the event, is a local association committed to promoting outdoor activities and aeronautical culture in Prunay and its surroundings. Its involvement in organizing the Festival de la Terre and the car boot sale demonstrates its dynamism and its desire to offer quality festive and cultural events to the local community.
