Saint-Fiacre Car Boot Sale of Épernon

The Saint-Fiacre Car Boot Sale, an Autumn Highlight in Épernon

Every year in September, the grand Saint-Fiacre Car Boot Sale is one of the most popular events in Épernon (28230). Organized by Entente Basket Épernon/Gallardon, it stretches from Avenue de la Prairie to Rue Bourgeoise, transforming the heart of the town into a vast open-air flea market from 8 am to 5:30 pm. Entry is free for visitors.

A Car Boot Sale as Part of the Saint-Fiacre Festival

The car boot sale takes place within the broader framework of the Saint-Fiacre Festival, one of the liveliest patron saint festivals in Eure-et-Loir. The evening before, the funfair and a fireworks display kick off the festivities. On Sunday, in addition to the car boot sale, the program includes a motorcycle stunt show (at 11 am, 2 pm, and 4:30 pm), a concert by the Épernon Harmony Orchestra (3 pm-4 pm), face painting, temporary tattoo, and balloon sculpting workshops. A rich and family-friendly day.

From Avenue de la Prairie to Rue Bourgeoise

The car boot sale route runs through several streets in the center of Épernon, from Avenue de la Prairie to Rue Bourgeoise. This location in the town center allows visitors to combine their market visit with discovering local shops and heritage. The streets are lined with colorful stalls offering furniture, tableware, books, clothing, vinyl records, tools, and decorative items.
