Car boot sale and toy fair of Girolles

The Girolles car boot sale and toy fair: an August 15th event

Every year, the village of Girolles in Loiret perpetuates a fine tradition by organizing its grand car boot sale combined with an antique toy fair on the national holiday of August 15th. Organized by the Girolles festival committee, this event brings together private exhibitors and toy collectors on the streets and squares of the village center.

An original double event

What sets the Girolles car boot sale apart is the unique combination of a classic car boot sale and a fair specializing in antique toys. Lovers of antique dolls, electric trains, lead soldiers, dinky toys, and vintage board games will find something to complete their collections. Casual bargain hunters will appreciate the variety of stalls offering tableware, furniture, clothing, books, and decorative objects.

Around 250 exhibitors in the heart of the village

The event brings together about 250 exhibitors each year in the village streets, offering a rich hunting ground. Access to the event is completely free for visitors. Exhibitors set up from dawn to offer their finds in a relaxed summer atmosphere.
