Monthly Car Boot Sale of Saintes

The Monthly Car Boot Sale of Saintes: the unmissable event for bargain hunters in Saintonge

Each month, the Hyper U parking lot in Saintes transforms into a huge open-air car boot sale. The Amicale de la Grande Brocante, a local association specializing in organizing flea markets, brings together between 100 and 200 exhibitors for a day of treasure hunting that starts at 6 in the morning and lasts until 6 in the evening.

A large-scale car boot sale in the heart of Saintonge

Saintes, former capital of the province of Saintonge, is a city of art and history with exceptional Gallo-Roman heritage: the Arc de Germanicus, the Arena amphitheater, the Saint-Saloine thermal baths, and the Romanesque churches of the Abbaye aux Dames and Saint-Eutrope. The monthly car boot sale, located on the Cours du Maréchal Leclerc, takes advantage of this tourist and heritage appeal to attract a large audience from all over the department.

Varied exhibitors and an attractive price

The exhibitor fee is set at 3.50 euros per linear meter by prior reservation by phone. For latecomers who register on the day, the price is 5.50 euros per meter, subject to availability. Vehicles must have a minimum of 5 meters for a small car, 6 meters for a minivan, and 7 meters for a truck or camper van. Entry is free for visitors.

A practical and well-equipped setting

The Hyper U parking lot offers a large, flat space, easily accessible from the city center of Saintes and major roads. Visitor parking is available on site. The refreshment stand and fast food service allow you to eat throughout the day. This functional and well-served setting makes the monthly car boot sale of Saintes one of the busiest in Charente-Maritime.
