September Car boot sale

The September Car Boot Sale: Bargain Hunting in Bourg-en-Bresse

On the third Sunday of September, the parking lot of the covered market in Bourg-en-Bresse hosts the last major car boot sale of the season. Organized by the association Anim'à Bourg, this event marks the return of bargain hunting after the summer break and attracts lovers of second-hand items from all over the Ain department.

A Wide Selection of Items at Bargain Prices

Between 100 and 200 private sellers take over the allée des Glorieuses to offer their finds: seasonal clothing, books, toys, tableware, small furniture, decorative items, and many other surprises. September is a prime time for good deals, as sellers want to get rid of items accumulated during the summer.

A Central and Convenient Location

Located in the heart of Bourg-en-Bresse, the covered market parking lot is easily accessible. The large free parking lot with over a thousand spaces makes it easy for visitors to attend, and its proximity to the city center allows for combining bargain hunting with shopping. In case of rain, the small hall offers welcome shelter.

Practical Information

The day starts very early with opening to visitors at 6 am. Sellers set up beforehand and offer their items until 6 pm. The fee for sellers is €2.50 per linear meter. Refreshments and toilets are available on site.
