Spring Boot Sale – Orbey

A spring boot sale in the High Vosges

The Spring Boot Sale in Orbey is one of the first outdoor events of the season in the Alsatian High Vosges. Every spring, as the mountains wake up, private sellers and bargain hunters gather in the village for a friendly day discovering forgotten treasures: clothes, books, toys, crockery and decorative objects at bargain prices.
