Car boot sale of Labouheyre

The Labouheyre Car Boot Sale: under the plane trees of Grande Lande

Labouheyre, a commune in Haute Lande located on the old national road between Bordeaux and Spain, hosts its annual car boot sale on the town hall square and the park of the function room. The beneficial shade of the century-old plane trees gives this event a special charm, typical of small Landes communes.

An authentic village car boot sale

The Labouheyre car boot sale is a human-sized event, where private sellers offer items they no longer need in a family atmosphere. Clothes, toys, books, dishes, trinkets, small appliances, and attic curiosities are displayed side by side. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, in the tradition of village car boot sales that give charm to local life in the Landes.

Labouheyre, a crossroads in Haute Lande

Labouheyre is a market town in Grande Lande, located at the crossroads of several important roads. The commune retains interesting industrial heritage related to forestry and the blast furnaces that gave it its name. The proximity of the Gascogne Landes forest and the Regional Natural Park offers a preserved natural setting for this day of bargain hunting.

Practical information

The car boot sale is held from 8 am to 6 pm. Pitches are offered at €2 per linear meter. To book, contact the festival committee at 06 26 90 32 59 or by email. Drinks and fast food are available on site.

A village with a rich history

Labouheyre derives its name from the blast furnaces that once operated there, fueled by local ore and charcoal from the Landes forest. This industrial tradition has left its mark on the commune's heritage, particularly visible in Rue des Hauts Fourneaux. Today, the car boot sale perpetuates the spirit of exchange and trade that has always characterized this stopover town in Grande Lande, located on the historic axis connecting Bordeaux to Spain.
