MP1 TEAM Car Boot Sale of Saint-Paul-de-Varces

The MP1 TEAM Association's Car Boot Sale

The MP1 TEAM association organizes its annual car boot sale at Salle Le Ruban in Saint-Paul-de-Varces. This spring event brings together residents from the commune and surrounding villages — Varces, Claix, Vif, Saint-Martin-de-la-Cluze — for a day of treasure hunting and good deals. Exhibitors, all private individuals, set up their stalls from 6 am in and around the hall. Clothes, toys, crockery, books, trinkets, garden tools, sports equipment, and decorative items await early bird bargain hunters.

Saint-Paul-de-Varces, at the gateway to Vercors

Saint-Paul-de-Varces is a commune of nearly 2,500 inhabitants located south of the Grenoble urban area, at the gateway to the Vercors massif. The village, nestled against the impressive limestone cliffs of the northern Vercors, benefits from an exceptional natural setting with breathtaking panoramas of the mountains. The commune has retained its rural character despite its proximity to Grenoble, with its farms, walnut trees, and hiking trails. Salle Le Ruban, a modern and bright multi-purpose space, offers a perfectly adapted venue for hosting this type of event, with accessible parking and indoor and outdoor areas.

A Friendly Community Event

The MP1 TEAM association enlivens the local life of Saint-Paul-de-Varces through several annual events, of which the car boot sale is one of the highlights. The profits from the day help fund the association's activities. Registration is done online via the HelloAsso platform, which facilitates the organization and management of pitches. The refreshment stand on-site allows visitors to eat and drink between finds.

Practical Advice for Exhibitors and Visitors

Please note: exhibitors must bring their own tables and chairs, as equipment is not provided by the organization. Exhibitor setup is from 6 am to 9 am. Arrive early to take advantage of the best finds and the most visible pitches. The car boot sale is generally held on a Sunday in May or June, when the weather is mild in this Vercors foothills area.
