Spring Car Boot Sale

The Jean Monnet Cultural Centre and its surroundings hosted the Saint-Genis-Pouilly car boot sale on September 7, 2025, bringing together hundreds of exhibitors for one of the most important events in the Pays de Gex. Free entry and generous hours, from 8:30 AM to 6 PM, allowed visitors to take their time browsing the stalls set up over a vast perimeter.

The proximity to the Swiss border and CERN gave this event an appreciated cosmopolitan dimension, mixing French residents, cross-border commuters, and Genevans in a relaxed and multicultural atmosphere. The diversity of items offered, from furniture to clothing, including toys, books, tableware, trinkets, and collectibles, satisfied all tastes and budgets.

The Saint-Genis-Pouilly car boot sale returns in September 2026 at the Jean Monnet Cultural Centre. This autumn gathering, which has become a must-attend for bargain hunters in the Pays de Gex and the Franco-Genevan region, promises another edition worthy of the reputation of this cross-border event.
