Les Puces du Creutzberg: The Car Boot Sale Tradition in Forbach

Each year in spring, the Foyer du Creutzberg in Forbach opens its doors to host Les Puces du Creutzberg, a car boot sale organized by the C.I.A (Comite Inter-Associations). For two days, bargain hunters browse the aisles in search of good deals among the stalls of individuals.

The Foyer du Creutzberg, a Forbach Community Hub

Located on Rue Alsace Lorraine, the Foyer du Creutzberg is an emblematic venue in Forbach's community life. This versatile space, in the heart of the Creutzberg district, regularly hosts cultural events and festive gatherings. For the flea market, exhibitors set up their stalls both indoors and outdoors, offering a varied treasure-hunting experience.

Forbach, Town of the Mining Basin

A former mining town on the Saarland border, Forbach has reinvented itself while preserving its industrial heritage. The Schlossberg, a wooded hill overlooking the town, offers an exceptional panorama of the region. The proximity to Germany gives the town a bicultural character that is also reflected in its flea markets, where objects bear witness to the Franco-German history of Eastern Moselle.

Practical Information

Admission is free for visitors. Exhibitors can register with the C.I.A. The car boot sale takes place over two days, Saturday and Sunday, allowing bargain hunters to take their time to find the best deals.
