Car boot sale Week-en-Dombes

Week-en-Dombes: Montluel's eco-responsible car boot sale

Every spring, the MFR (Maison Familiale Rurale) of Montluel hosts the Week-en-Dombes car boot sale, an original event that goes beyond the simple concept of a traditional flea market. Combining a car boot sale, a recycling center, and plant swapping, this event is fully committed to responsible consumption and social connection.

An original concept combining flea market and nature

Week-en-Dombes stands out with its varied program. Alongside traditional car boot sale stalls where you can find clothes, toys, books, and trinkets at low prices, visitors discover a recycling area dedicated to creative reuse and a plant market promoting exchanges between amateur gardeners. This multifaceted approach attracts a diverse audience, from seasoned bargain hunters to families looking for good deals.

A rural setting on the edge of Dombes

Located in the premises and green spaces of the MFR, Allée Césaire Nivière, the car boot sale benefits from a pleasant environment on the edge of Dombes, a land of ponds and preserved nature. Montluel, a town that is both rural and close to the Lyon agglomeration, offers easy access from Lyon and the towns of La Côtière. Parking is available near the establishment.

An event committed to the planet

Week-en-Dombes is part of a philosophy of sustainable development and waste reduction. By encouraging reuse and swapping, the event raises visitors' awareness of environmental issues in a fun and concrete way. The recycling workshops offer demonstrations of repair and creative transformation, while the plant market promotes biodiversity and the exchange of knowledge among local gardeners.

Practical Information

The event takes place on the first Saturday of April, a full day dedicated to bargain hunting and discoveries. Admission is free for visitors. A refreshment stand offering local products and entertainment punctuate the day in a relaxed and family-friendly atmosphere. Exhibitors are invited to contact the MFR of Montluel to reserve their spot and learn about the participation conditions.
