Saint-Genis-les-Ollières Spring Car Boot Sale

The spring edition of the car boot sale

The Saint-Genis-les-Ollières Spring Car Boot Sale marks the return of fine weather in this village perched on the hillsides west of Lyon. Residents and sellers offer a varied selection of second-hand items: good-condition adult and children's clothing, toys, books, board games, knick-knacks, decorative objects, small furniture and more. The spring edition, traditionally organised around the Easter weekend, benefits from longer days and the mild April weather. It generally precedes a second summer edition, confirming the appetite of Saint-Genis residents for open-air events.

Saint-Genis-les-Ollières, a green village west of Lyon

Saint-Genis-les-Ollières is a commune of around 3,500 inhabitants nestled in the Lyon hillsides, about fifteen kilometres west of Lyon. The village is known for its panoramic views over Lyon and the Alps, its quality residential setting and its preserved village atmosphere just a stone's throw from the metropolis. The name "Ollières" is a reminder of the old tile works (olières) that once existed on the territory. The commune attracts many Lyon residents seeking a more nature-oriented lifestyle, while remaining accessible by TCL bus services.
