Car boot sale of Saint-Paul-en-Jarez

A large car boot sale at the foot of the Pilat

Saint-Paul-en-Jarez, a town located on the foothills of the Pilat between Saint-Étienne and the Gier valley, hosts a large-scale car boot sale every year at the Bessy stadium. With up to 150 exhibitors, it is one of the most important events in the area for bargain hunters.

A pleasant natural setting

The Bessy stadium offers a large outdoor space ideal for this type of event. The exhibitors, exclusively individuals, set up their stalls around the field. Visitors arrive as early as 7 am to spot the best deals. You can find crockery, toys, clothes, books, tools, small furniture, and various trinkets. The green setting of Saint-Paul-en-Jarez, at the gates of the Pilat Regional Natural Park, adds extra charm to this day of bargain hunting.
