Car boot sale of Sainte-Hélène

The Sainte-Hélène Car Boot Sale

The commune of Sainte-Hélène (33480) organizes an annual car boot sale in its village center, bringing together private sellers from the forest communes of the interior Médoc. The event offers a classic range of car boot sale items: clothing, toys, books, trinkets, crockery, small furniture, and everyday objects. The atmosphere is that of an authentic, peaceful, and friendly village car boot sale.

Sainte-Hélène, a village in the heart of the Médoc forest

Sainte-Hélène is a commune of over 3,000 inhabitants, one of the most populated in the canton of Castelnau-de-Médoc. The village is surrounded by the maritime pine forest that covers the interior of the Médoc peninsula, between the vineyards of Haut-Médoc to the east and the lakes and Atlantic beaches to the west. Sainte-Hélène is an important road junction on the Bordeaux-Lacanau axis, which gives it natural footfall for its events.

A popular event in the canton

The Sainte-Hélène car boot sale attracts residents from neighboring communes — Castelnau-de-Médoc, Saumos, Brach, Le Temple — as well as second-home owners from the seaside resorts of Lacanau and Le Porge. The well-maintained and accessible village center offers a pleasant setting for a morning of treasure hunting in nature. The proximity of the Médoc cycle paths allows the more athletic to combine a bike ride with a car boot sale.
