Car boot sale of Tauriac

The Tauriac Car Boot Sale organized by VIOURE AL PAÎS

In the village of Tauriac (46130), in the Dordogne Valley in the north of the Lot department, the association VIOURE AL PAÎS organizes its annual car boot sale every year. This popular event brings together exhibitors and visitors in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, typical of village festivals in the rural communes of the Lot. The pitch price, set at €2.50 per linear meter, is affordable and attracts exhibitors from Tauriac and surrounding communes.

VIOURE AL PAÎS, the association of the region

The name of the organizing association — VIOURE AL PAÎS — is evocative. In Occitan, the historical language of Quercy, "viure al paîs" means "to live in the region". This association thus carries its commitment in its very name: to maintain life and culture in this rural village of the Lot Dordogne, to fight against depopulation and to offer moments of conviviality to residents and visitors. The organization of the annual car boot sale is fully in line with this cultural and social mission.

Tauriac, between Dordogne and Quercy

Tauriac is a commune in the north of the Lot, in the Dordogne Valley, near Puybrun and Bretenoux. This area, sometimes called Pays de Branceilles or Lot Dordogne, is a transitional territory between the limestone Quercy and the greener landscapes of Corrèze and Périgord. Tauriac is one of the rural communes in the north of the Lot that seek to maintain their dynamism through active community life. The nearby Dordogne river and the landscapes of walnut and chestnut trees constitute an attractive natural environment for visitors.

A car boot sale in the tradition of the rural market

The Tauriac car boot sale is part of the tradition of rural markets and outdoor events that liven up the villages of the Lot during the summer season. Exhibitors offer their second-hand items — clothes, toys, books, crockery, tools, small furniture — in an old-fashioned village fair atmosphere. Visitors, locals or tourists, appreciate these authentic events that contrast with ordinary commercial circuits. It is also an opportunity to discover Tauriac and its surroundings, between walks in the Dordogne Valley and discovery of the Quercy heritage.

Price €2.50/lm, accessible to all

The pitch price of €2.50 per linear meter is in line with the rates for car boot sales and flea markets in the Lot. This moderate price allows everyone to participate without financial constraints, whether they are a resident wanting to clear out their attic or a professional bargain hunter wishing to exhibit their finds. Price accessibility is one of the values of the VIOURE AL PAÎS association, which is keen for its events to remain open to all segments of the local population.
