Old wooden games: an original entertainment

The Saint-Pierre-du-Champ car boot sale stands out with an original entertainment: an introduction to old wooden games is offered to visitors. Skittles, shuffleboard, passe-temps, and other traditional games allow families and children to discover or rediscover pastimes from another era. This cultural initiative is part of the desire to pass on rural recreational heritage.

Refreshment stand and snack bar: conviviality guaranteed

To ensure the comfort of participants throughout the day, a refreshment stand and a light catering service are available on site. Cold or hot drinks and snacks allow exhibitors and visitors to take a gourmet break between rounds in the aisles. "Les tripes chez Nicole", the village bar, adds to this offering from 8 am, in a well-established Auvergne culinary tradition.

An authentic village in the Velay

Saint-Pierre-du-Champ is nestled in the Velay, this volcanic region of Haute-Loire renowned for its basalt plateau landscapes, its black stone villages, and its panoramic views. The village center, around which the car boot sale is held, retains the typical architecture of the villages in this region: basalt houses, fountains, and shaded squares. This authentic setting enhances the special atmosphere of the event.
