Car boot sale of the Maison du Crêt de Roch

The Crêt de Roch Car Boot Sale

The Crêt de Roch district, located on the heights of Saint-Étienne, hosts its car boot sale every year. The event is organized by the Maison du Crêt de Roch, an associative structure that animates the life of this popular and warm neighborhood of Saint-Étienne.

An authentic neighborhood car boot sale

Crêt de Roch is one of the most typical districts of Saint-Étienne, with its steep streets and working-class houses. The car boot sale takes on a special dimension here, between village atmosphere and neighborhood spirit. The exhibitors, all individuals, set up their stalls in the streets and offer everyday items, clothes, toys, books, and trinkets.

The Maison du Crêt de Roch, heart of associative life

The Maison du Crêt de Roch animates this district throughout the year with cultural, social, and festive activities. The car boot sale is one of the highlights of its calendar, bringing residents together around a popular and accessible event. The refreshment stand and on-site catering add to the conviviality of the day.

A district with a rich history

Crêt de Roch derives its name from its elevated position in the geography of Saint-Étienne. A historically working-class district, it has retained a strong identity and solidarity among residents that is fully manifested during the car boot sale. The narrow alleys and stairs connecting the different levels of the district offer a picturesque and original setting for treasure hunting. One can discover, at the turn of a stall, objects testifying to the industrial past of Saint-Étienne: tools from ribbon making, armaments, or hardware. This car boot sale is also an opportunity to rediscover a district in full renewal, where old residents and newcomers mingle.
