Lions Club Car Boot Sale of La Brède

The Lions Club Car Boot Sale: Solidarity and Bargains in the Heart of Graves

Every May 1st, the Lions Club Bordeaux-Graves organizes a large car boot sale outdoors at the Pré de l'Espérance in La Brède (33650), the historic town of the famous Montesquieu. This charity event brings together many private sellers in a large green space, from 8 am to 6 pm. Visitors can find clothes, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, small furniture, tools, and decorative items at low prices.

A Charity Event for Social Actions

The Lions Club is an international service organization whose motto is "We Serve". The profits from the car boot sale - stall fees, refreshments, and food - are fully donated to local charitable actions: aid to people in difficulty, support for medical research, actions for vision and hearing. Exhibiting at the Lions Club car boot sale also means contributing to solidarity. Stall fees are €15 for 4 linear meters, then €3 per additional meter.

La Brède, Land of Montesquieu and Graves

La Brède is a commune of about 5,000 inhabitants, world-renowned for its Château de La Brède, the birthplace of Montesquieu, a philosopher of the Enlightenment. In the heart of the Graves appellation, the commune is surrounded by prestigious vineyards. The Pré de l'Espérance, a large green space on the edge of the town, offers an ideal rural setting for this large spring car boot sale.
