September Car Boot Sale and Flea Market in Auch

The end-of-summer car boot sale and flea market in Auch

Every early September, Auch hosts a large-scale car boot sale and flea market in its city centre. This end-of-summer event has become an anticipated meeting for bargain hunters from Gers and surrounding departments, who take advantage of the last fine days to rummage through stalls in search of a good deal.

Two days of treasure hunting in the heart of Gascony

Spanning a full weekend, Auch's car boot sale offers ample time for browsing. Private sellers offer clothes, toys, books, crockery, small furniture, trinkets, and decorative items, while a few flea market dealers present more sought-after items: antiques, vintage, collectibles. The atmosphere is one of leisurely strolling, friendly haggling, and end-of-summer reunions.

Auch, a city of art and history

Auch, the prefecture of Gers and historical capital of Gascony, offers a remarkable setting for this type of event. Visitors can extend their treasure hunting day with a walk through the medieval streets of the old town, discover the Monumental Staircase, admire the Sainte-Marie Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage site, or even greet the statue of d'Artagnan on the Poterne staircase.

A friendly and family event

On-site catering and refreshment stands run by local associations complete this popular event. Families will find something for everyone thanks to the diversity of offerings and the relaxed atmosphere that prevails in the pedestrian streets of the Gers prefecture.
