Car boot sale of the Saint-Louans district in Chinon

A car boot sale on the banks of the Vienne in Saint-Louans

The car boot sale of the Saint-Louans district takes place every spring in this peaceful hamlet of Chinon, located in the direction of Avoine, along the rue de la Batellerie by the Vienne river. Between 50 and 100 private sellers set up their stalls from 7 am to 6 pm, offering clothes, toys, books, trinkets, crockery, and various items at low prices. The green setting and the proximity of the river offer a particularly pleasant atmosphere for strolling and bargain hunting.

Saint-Louans, a wine-growing hamlet at the gates of Chinon

Saint-Louans is a historic district attached to the commune of Chinon, nestled in the Vienne valley between the vineyards of the Chinon AOC appellation. The hamlet retains its rural character with its tuffeau stone houses and troglodyte cellars dug into the hillside. The rue de la Batellerie recalls the river activity that once animated the banks of the Vienne. This authentic setting makes it a popular spot for walks for the people of Touraine.

A friendly day organized by the district association

The Saint-Louans district association organizes this annual car boot sale in a spirit of conviviality. A refreshment stand and catering are provided on-site by volunteers. Parking is available nearby. Entry is free for visitors.
