Car boot sale and craft market — Ouzouer-sur-Trézée

The car boot sale and craft market of Ouzouer-sur-Trézée

Ouzouer-sur-Trézée, a village in the Gâtinais loirétain located in the canton of Briare, offers its residents and visitors an original concept: a car boot sale combined with a craft market. This event, organized twice a year (in May and June) at the Salle Polyvalente Pierre Vieillart, is one of the highlights of this rural commune.

Car boot sale and crafts, a successful combination

The combination of the two formats – second-hand car boot sale and craft market – is particularly well-thought-out. Visitors can find bargain items on the car boot sale stalls and discover the local know-how of Gâtinais artisans in a single day. Handmade jewelry, decorative objects, artisanal textiles, and local creations are displayed alongside clothing, books, and trinkets from private sellers.

The Salle Polyvalente Pierre Vieillart, at 21 rue de la Flamandière, hosts exhibitors in comfortable conditions, with both indoor and outdoor space. The locally known organizer manages the allocation of pitches at a rate of €2.50 per linear meter, on a first-come, first-served basis. Exhibitors can set up from 6:30 AM, and the event is open to the public from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM.

A barbecue (sausages, merguez, andouillette) and fries are available on site for exhibitors and visitors, adding a friendly dimension to the day.
