Nyons Autumn Car Boot Sale

The Nyons Autumn Car Boot Sale: Treasure Hunting Under the Plane Trees

Every October, the town of Nyons hosts its major autumn car boot sale in its tree-lined park, a vast shaded area that forms the green lung of this Provençal-style town. Individuals and treasure hunters from all over the region converge on this emblematic location for a day of good deals and friendly encounters.

Nyons, Olive Capital of the Drôme Provençale

Nestled in a sunny hollow at the confluence of the Eygues and its tributaries, Nyons is a city of art and history that benefits from an exceptional microclimate. Nicknamed the "Little Provence," it is famous worldwide for its PDO olives and its renowned olive oil. The Roman Bridge viaduct, the medieval streets of the Forts district, and the oil mills are remarkable architectural heritage that visitors to the car boot sale can discover during their visit.

An Exceptional Setting in the Tree-Lined Park

The tree-lined park of Nyons, with its century-old trees—majestic plane trees, hackberries, and lime trees—offers an exceptional natural setting for this autumn car boot sale. The stalls are spread out under the golden foliage of October, creating a warm and colorful atmosphere. The park, located in the heart of the city, is easily accessible on foot from the historic center and nearby parking lots.

A Day of Treasure Hunting for Everyone

Private sellers and occasional professionals set up from dawn to offer an eclectic range of items: clothing and textiles for all seasons, furniture and decorative objects, tableware and kitchen utensils, books and records, toys and board games, tools, and various bric-a-brac. The relaxed atmosphere and the mild autumn sun of the Drôme make this car boot sale particularly popular with regulars.
