The car boot sale of Saint-Nizier-sous-Charlieu

Saint-Nizier-sous-Charlieu, a small village in the north of the Loire located near Charlieu, hosts its car boot sale organized by the Comité des Fêtes every summer. The event is held in the Place de l'Église, in the heart of the village, and brings together between 50 and 100 private exhibitors.

A friendly and accessible event

The car boot sale opens its doors at 6 am for visitors, while exhibitors can set up from 5 am. The pitch is offered at a very attractive rate of €1 per linear meter, with vehicles parked on the space. Coffee is offered to exhibitors, a gesture appreciated by early risers looking for bargains.

A stone's throw from Charlieu and Brionnais

Saint-Nizier-sous-Charlieu benefits from its proximity to Charlieu, a famous city of art with its Benedictine abbey and its half-timbered houses. The car boot sale is an opportunity to discover this rural and green area of the Loire Brionnais. The refreshment stand and on-site catering, with toilets available, allow for a pleasant half-day of bargain hunting in a rural setting.

The charm of the Loire Brionnais

Saint-Nizier-sous-Charlieu is located in the heart of the Loire Brionnais, a rural and green region that forms the transition between Roannais and Charolais. The Romanesque heritage of the region, with the churches of Charlieu, Iguerande and Anzy-le-Duc, makes this area rich in cultural discoveries. The car boot sale is the ideal opportunity to combine bargain hunting and rural tourism. After browsing the stalls in the Place de l'Église, visitors can extend their visit with a walk through the village streets or an excursion to the nearby abbey of Charlieu. The pitch price of €1 per linear meter remains one of the lowest in the department, attracting many occasional sellers.
