Car boot sale and Flea Market of Gilley

The Gilley car boot sale and flea market: a winter tradition in Haut-Doubs

Every year in February, the municipality of Gilley, nestled in the Haut-Doubs massif at an altitude of over 800 meters, hosts its annual car boot sale and flea market. This winter event is one of the most anticipated flea markets in the region, bringing together private sellers and dealers in a typical Franche-Comté mountain setting.

The event runs from 6 am to 5 pm, offering a long day of treasure hunting for visitors. Exhibitor registration is mandatory, and a hot meal is offered at 14 euros to warm up participants and visitors after a morning spent browsing the aisles of the flea market. This attention to the comfort of participants reflects the friendly and welcoming spirit of the local organization.

Gilley, a mountain village in Haut-Doubs

Gilley (25650) is a rural commune in the canton of Montbenoit, in the upper Dessoubre valley. Surrounded by fir forests and high-altitude meadows, it embodies the discreet charm of the Comtois villages. The Loue river rises not far from here, and the surrounding massif offers spectacular landscapes in all seasons. The February car boot sale is an opportunity to discover this charming village in a unique winter atmosphere.

Prior registration of exhibitors is required, ensuring good space organization and a quality offering for visitors. The items offered cover a wide range: antique furniture, tableware, clothing, books, trinkets, and decorative objects.
