Lions Club Saint-Cyprien Doyen Car Boot Sale in Alénya

A large charity car boot sale in the heart of the Catalan plain

Every spring, the Lions Club Saint-Cyprien Doyen organizes its annual car boot sale in Alénya, at Parc Ecoiffier, a vast tree-lined space located in the heart of the village. This event has become one of the largest charity car boot sales in the department, usually bringing together several hundred exhibitors and many bargain hunters from Saint-Cyprien, Perpignan, Elne, Canet and the entire Roussillon plain.

A social commitment at the heart of the project

Faithful to the Lions Club motto "We serve", the Lions Club Saint-Cyprien Doyen donates all the profits from the car boot sale to its social works. These funds help people in difficulty, support medical research, accompany young people in their schooling, or finance actions in favor of seniors and disabled people in the region. Hunting for bargains in Alénya therefore means both making good deals and supporting local solidarity.

Parc Ecoiffier, ideal setting for bargain hunting

Parc Ecoiffier in Alénya is a shaded municipal park that usually hosts the village's major events. With its alleys, green spaces and adjoining rotunda hall, it offers an airy and pleasant setting for a car boot sale, away from asphalt and narrow streets. Exhibitors also set up on rue Jean Jaurès and in neighboring streets of the town center, transforming Alénya into a real village of bargain hunters for a day. The proximity of shops, cafes and restaurants in the center allows the visit to be pleasantly extended.

Alénya, Catalan village close to the sea

Alénya is a Catalan village of about 3,500 inhabitants, located just a few kilometers from Saint-Cyprien and its fine sandy beaches. Its name, probably of Ibero-Roman origin, testifies to the antiquity of human occupation in this fertile plain. The village is known for its associative dynamism, its markets and its numerous events throughout the year. Visiting the Lions Club car boot sale is an excellent opportunity to discover this unknown corner of French Catalonia, a stone's throw from the coast.
