Oupia La Serre Pétanque Car Boot Sale

Bargain hunting at the Minervois bowling green

The La Serre Pétanque bowling green in Oupia hosts a friendly and family-oriented car boot sale every spring. Private sellers offer clothing, trinkets, toys, books, crockery, tools, and flea market items in a shaded and spacious area. The atmosphere is relaxed, typical of this small village in the Minervois region, where life flows to the rhythm of the vineyards and pétanque.

Oupia, a wine-producing village in the heart of the Minervois

With a population of around 300 inhabitants, Oupia (34210) is a small wine-producing commune nestled in the hills of the Minervois region, perched between the garrigue scrubland and the first slopes of the Haut-Languedoc. The terroir produces renowned wines with the AOP Minervois appellation, and the village retains an authentic charm with its Romanesque church, flower-lined streets, and stone winegrower houses. The cooperative winery and private estates offer tastings throughout the year.

Pétanque, bargain hunting, and aperitifs

The setting of the bowling green adds a playful dimension to this car boot sale: between finds, visitors can throw a few boules on the adjacent pétanque courts. The snack bar offers pastis, Minervois wines, and refreshments, while light catering allows for a convivial extension of the morning.
