Car boot sale of La Gaude

The La Gaude car boot sale

La Gaude is a green, residential commune nestled in the hills between Saint-Jeannet and Cagnes-sur-Mer, in the Alpes-Maritimes. Known for hosting the IBM France research center, this peaceful commune combines a preserved natural setting with proximity to the Mediterranean coast. Its old village, with its narrow streets, stone houses, and shaded squares, provides an authentic Provençal backdrop for the annual car boot sale that brings together residents and bargain hunters.

A popular annual event for bargain hunters

The La Gaude car boot sale has become a highly anticipated highlight of local life, bringing together residents of the commune and visitors from neighboring villages. Private exhibitors offer a wide range of second-hand items: vintage clothing, antique toys, used books, trinkets, decorative objects, and various curiosities. The relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere in the village invites you to stroll among the stalls, chat with exhibitors, and find original treasures at low prices in this bucolic and green setting.

Discover La Gaude

The car boot sale is the perfect opportunity to discover La Gaude and its preserved natural environment. The hills covered with pine forests and olive trees offer beautiful walks with views of the Bay of Nice, the Baou de Saint-Jeannet, and the Prealps. The communal heritage includes the parish church, old fountains, and remnants of traditional agricultural life. The proximity to the Sophia Antipolis technopole and the Mediterranean coast makes La Gaude a privileged place to live between the sea and the mountains.
