Car boot sale of Ordan-Larroque

A sporty and friendly car boot sale

The Ordan-Larroque car boot sale is uniquely held on the village's rugby field, a choice that reflects rugby's deep roots in Gascon culture. The flat, grassy area of the field provides a pleasant setting for setting up stalls and for bargain hunters to browse. The Gym Volontaire association, which organizes the event, donates the profits to support its sports activities.

Ordan-Larroque, a Gascon village on the outskirts of Auch

Ordan-Larroque is a commune of 800 inhabitants located 12 km north of Auch. The village is set in a landscape of cultivated hills typical of the Gers region around Auch, with fields of sunflowers, vineyards, and oak groves. Ordan-Larroque is home to an open-air prehistory conservatory and interesting rural heritage. The parish church and surrounding Gascon farmhouses bear witness to the long agricultural history of this area.
