Car boot sale La Collégiale of Dampierre

La Collégiale Car Boot Sale in Dampierre

In September, the village of Dampierre (52360), located in the Bassigny region of Haute-Marne, hosts the La Collégiale car boot sale. This late-summer event brings together local exhibitors and visitors from the surrounding areas for a day of bargain hunting and conviviality.

The event's name pays homage to the village's rich architectural history, which boasts a beautiful collegiate church testifying to its prosperous past. Stalls are set up in the village's public spaces, offering a bucolic and picturesque setting to browse through the items on offer: furniture, tableware, books, clothing, old tools, and various knick-knacks.

Dampierre is a typical rural village in the Bassigny region, an agricultural plateau that extends across the south of Haute-Marne. It is part of the 52360 postal code area, in the same sector as Is-en-Bassigny, in a sparsely populated but association-wise dynamic area. Events like this car boot sale play an essential role in maintaining social life in these rural communities.

The September car boot sale is ideally timed to take advantage of the last beautiful days before autumn. Refreshments and light catering are usually available to make this day a festive and pleasant occasion for the whole family.
