The Pontenx-les-Forges Car Boot Sale: Treasure Hunting in the Heart of the Landes Forest

Pontenx-les-Forges, a small forest commune nestled between Biscarrosse and Mimizan in the Landes, hosts its car boot sale and flea market at the Guilleman sports center. This site offers a vast and shaded area, ideal for a day of outdoor treasure hunting in the heart of the Landes pine forest.

A Mixed Event for Individuals and Professionals

The unique aspect of this event is that it welcomes both private and professional exhibitors, thus offering an uncommon diversity of items: from classic attic finds to more sought-after flea market pieces. Visitors can find clothing, toys, books, dishes, trinkets, small furniture, and vintage items in a relaxed atmosphere.

Pontenx-les-Forges, a Village of Character

Pontenx-les-Forges owes its name to the old forges that used local ore and wood from the forest. This industrial heritage has shaped the identity of this village of character, which retains an authentic charm with its traditional houses and omnipresent forest. The Guilleman sports center, the venue for the event, is easily accessible from the D626 road connecting Biscarrosse to Mimizan.

Practical Information

The car boot sale takes place from 7 am to 6 pm. The shaded area of the sports center offers appreciable comfort, especially during the hot season. Refreshments and food are provided on-site by the organizers. Parking is available in the immediate vicinity.

A Village Rich in Events

Pontenx-les-Forges is a particularly dynamic commune in terms of events. In addition to this car boot sale, the commune hosts a large car boot sale on August 15th at the airial, a large spring flea market, and the famous Rétro'Folies d'Aquitaine, a gathering of vintage vehicles with a car and motorcycle parts exchange. This diversity of events makes Pontenx an unmissable destination for treasure hunting between Biscarrosse and Mimizan on the Landes coast.
