Municipal Car Boot Sale

The Municipal Car Boot Sale of La Grand-Combe

La Grand-Combe, a commune in the Gard region with roots in the Cévennes mining era, organizes a large municipal car boot sale every spring on Place Jean Jaurès. This event, supported by the town hall, goes far beyond a simple flea market: it is part of a festive day that brings together a car boot sale, a local producers' market, and shows or concerts. Place Jean Jaurès, the symbolic heart of the town's civic life, provides an ideal setting for this popular and free event.

Individuals looking to clear out their attics mingle with local artisans and regional producers in a friendly atmosphere. Visitors can find both second-hand items and curiosities, as well as local Cévennes products. Workshops and demonstrations usually complete the program, making this day a true family event.

La Grand-Combe, Cévennes Pride and Mining Heritage

La Grand-Combe is a town in the Gard region deeply marked by its coal mining past. The coal mines that brought it wealth for over a century have shaped its landscape and identity. Today, the commune is working on its redevelopment and the valorization of this unique industrial heritage. The municipal car boot sale, free and open to all, reflects this commitment to maintaining a dynamic social and cultural life despite the economic challenges facing the former mining town.

Place Jean Jaurès, whose name recalls the town's attachment to the values of the labor movement, is easily accessible from the entire commune and surrounding villages. La Grand-Combe is connected by road to the Gardon Gorges and Alès, the departmental capital.
