Paunat Car Boot Sale

The Paunat Car Boot Sale: Treasure Hunting at the Foot of the Romanesque Abbey Church

Each summer, the village of Paunat organizes a car boot sale strictly reserved for non-professionals. This event takes place in the heart of this small town in the Périgord Noir, dominated by the majestic silhouette of its 11th-century Romanesque abbey church, one of the jewels of Périgourdine religious architecture.

An Event Reserved for Individuals

The Paunat car boot sale is distinguished by its commitment to remaining an authentic and friendly event, open exclusively to non-professional sellers. This rule guarantees a varied offering of everyday items, family heirlooms, and various finds, far from the usual commercial circuits. Registration is mandatory, with a deadline set a few weeks before the event.

Paunat, a Village of Exception

Paunat is a tiny village in the Dordogne valley, located between Limeuil and Le Bugue. Its Saint-Martial Abbey Church, founded in the 11th century, is a massive and impressive Romanesque building that dominates the village with its high fortified nave. The village retains an intact rural charm, with its golden stone houses and flower-filled gardens.

Refreshments and Catering

A refreshment stand and light catering service are available on site, allowing visitors and exhibitors to eat throughout the day. Entry is free and the atmosphere is that of a simple and warm village car boot sale.
