Secours Populaire Car Boot Sale of Tavaux

The solidarity car boot sale of Secours Populaire in Tavaux

Every spring, the Place de la Victoire in Tavaux hosts one of the most important car boot sales in the Jura dolois. Organized by the Jura federation of the Secours Populaire Français in partnership with the association Festif's Cité, this solidarity event brings together around 200 exhibitors over two days, mixing individuals and professionals.

Two days of bargains

The two-day format — Saturday and Sunday — allows visitors to return and exhibitors to maximize their sales. From 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., stalls stretch across the entire Place de la Victoire and the adjacent streets of the town center. You can find everything: furniture, dishes, clothes, toys, books, appliances, and decorative objects.

A solidarity event

Beyond the bargain hunting, this car boot sale has a solidarity purpose. The profits made by Secours Populaire — particularly from the on-site refreshments and food — are fully donated to the association's actions for people in need in the Jura. Participating in this car boot sale also means contributing to local solidarity.
