Car boot sale on Saint-Quentin, Dumetz and Zola streets

Neighborhood Car Boot Sale South of Arras

Saint-Quentin, Dumetz, and Émile Zola streets form a quiet residential area south of Arras, between the train station and the Ronville neighborhood. Every spring, residents organize their annual car boot sale: tables and stalls appear on the sidewalks, and browsers stroll through these three streets in search of bargains.

The Authenticity of Street Sales

This type of street sale is a deeply rooted tradition in the culture of Nord–Pas-de-Calais. No professional dealers here: it's the residents themselves who are clearing out their cellars and attics. You'll find vintage linens, tableware, vinyl records, children's toys, books, and those thousand little items that delight patient bargain hunters. The atmosphere is neighborly, with coffee offered on the doorstep and chats between residents.

A May Event

Traditionally scheduled for May, this car boot sale takes advantage of the good weather to attract neighborhood walkers and bargain hunters from Arras. Its proximity to Arras train station makes it easily accessible.
