Sainte-Marie-la-Mer Seafront Car Boot Sale

A huge car boot sale facing the Mediterranean

The Baladoir Seafront Car Boot Sale is one of the major treasure hunting events on the Catalan coast. On June 7, 2026, around 275 private exhibitors take over the long promenade bordering the beach of Sainte-Marie-la-Mer to offer visitors clothes, toys, vinyls, books, tableware, curios, furniture and collectibles. The size of the event, its local roots and the quality of its setting make it a must-attend spring event in Roussillon.

The Baladoir, emblematic promenade of Sainte-Marie-la-Mer

The Baladoir is the large pedestrian promenade running along the beach of Sainte-Marie-la-Mer, a family seaside resort in northern Roussillon. Recently redeveloped, it stretches for several kilometers between Torreilles-Plage and the center of Sainte-Marie. During the car boot sale, it transforms into a huge open-air shopping aisle.
