Sainte-Marie-la-Mer Village Square Car Boot Sale (August)

A great summer car boot sale in the heart of the village

The Village Square Car Boot Sale is one of the major summer events in Sainte-Marie-la-Mer. With its 120 private exhibitors on average, it spreads its stalls across the central square and the surrounding streets, transforming the historic heart of the village into a huge bargain-hunting area. Visitors stroll around looking for rare items and good deals: vintage clothes, antique furniture, books, toys, kitchen utensils, dishes, and trinkets.

Sainte-Marie-la-Mer, pearl of the Côte Vermeille

Located on the coast of the Pyrénées-Orientales, a few kilometers north of Perpignan, Sainte-Marie-la-Mer is a family seaside resort renowned for its long fine sandy beaches, its marina, and its pleasant living environment. The village retains an authentic Catalan charm with its alleys, small squares, and church. In the middle of August, the car boot sale enhances the summer entertainment and allows holidaymakers and locals alike to enjoy a morning of bargain hunting before heading to the beach.

A friendly summer atmosphere

On August 2, the center of the village takes on the colors of bargain hunting: relaxed atmosphere, Mediterranean sun, and packed café terraces between two finds. It's the perfect opportunity for visitors to discover Sainte-Marie-la-Mer in a different way, by strolling through its streets and meeting its inhabitants. The event is free for visitors and accessible on foot from the center of the resort.
