The La Baume-de-Transit Car Boot Sale: 180 Exhibitors on the Heights of Tricastin

With its 180 exhibitors, the spring car boot sale of La Baume-de-Transit is one of the most important flea market events in southern Drôme Provençale. Organized every year in April, it attracts exhibitors and visitors from all over the region, making this small perched village an unexpected meeting point for bargain hunters.

La Baume-de-Transit, a Medieval Village in Tricastin

Perched on its limestone rock in the heart of Tricastin, La Baume-de-Transit is a medieval village of singular beauty. Its name evokes a cave — baume in Provençal — which once served as a stopping place on the roads to the South. Its sloping streets, its pale limestone houses, and its panoramic view of the Tricastin plains and the Drôme Provençale hills make it a village of character much appreciated by heritage enthusiasts.

180 Exhibitors: A Remarkable Concentration

Gathering 180 exhibitors in a village of this size is a remarkable organizational feat. It testifies to both the dynamism of the organizers and the appeal that La Baume-de-Transit holds for sellers and visitors. The car boot sale takes over the entire village and its surroundings, transforming this ordinarily peaceful village into a lively and colorful market for a day.

An Unmissable Event in Southern Drôme

Within a 30-kilometer radius, La Baume-de-Transit is surrounded by other emblematic villages and sites: Grignan and its castle, Taulignan and its medieval towers, Valréas (neighboring Vaucluse) and its papal enclave. The spring car boot sale naturally fits into this ecosystem of events in Drôme Provençale, of which it has become one of the highlights.
