Car boot sale of Souain-Perthes-lès-Hurlus

The Car boot sale of Souain-Perthes-lès-Hurlus

The Car boot sale of Souain-Perthes-lès-Hurlus is organized by the Goyaland association in this commune of the Marne (51600), in the heart of the Champagne crayeuse. Every June, this annual event enlivens the village life and brings together exhibitors and visitors for a day of treasure hunting and conviviality in an authentic rural setting steeped in history.

Souain-Perthes-lès-Hurlus is a commune steeped in memory: its territory was the scene of violent fighting during the First World War, and the surrounding landscapes still bear the traces of this tragic history. The commune is today an important place of remembrance, with its military cemeteries and battlefields. It is in this particular historical context that the car boot sale takes place, a popular and lively event that celebrates life and conviviality in a village that has managed to rebuild itself after the destruction of the war.

The June car boot sale is one of its flagship activities, the one that brings the most people together and has an impact beyond the municipal borders.

The preparation of the event mobilizes the association's volunteers several weeks in advance. Communication, exhibitor registration, plot layout, catering arrangements: every detail is carefully considered to ensure a high-quality event. On the day of the car boot sale, Goyaland is present on site to welcome exhibitors and visitors and ensure the smooth running of the day.

A Car Boot Sale in the Chalky Champagne Region

The area of Souain-Perthes-lès-Hurlus (51600) belongs to the Champagne crayeuse, this vast agricultural plain that extends southeast of Reims, characterized by its open horizons, its large cereal crops, and its villages with white chalk houses. It is a preserved rural territory, far from the city, where nature and history blend to create a unique setting.

The stalls of the car boot sale offer a selection of items of all kinds: clothing and accessories, toys and games, books and magazines, dishes and kitchenware, tools and garden equipment, light furniture, knick-knacks and decorations. Lovers of military items and Great War memorabilia may also find interesting pieces there, in the tradition of flea markets in this region so marked by the two World Wars.
