Spring Car Boot Sale of the Friends of Montfaucons — Montfaucon

The Spring Car Boot Sale of the Friends of Montfaucons, a Tradition in Quercy

The association Les Amis des Montfaucons, active in the local life of Montfaucon, organizes its car boot sale every spring in the village streets. This popular event in the Lot brings together private sellers and flea market vendors in a friendly atmosphere, true to the spirit of village fairs that have long punctuated the life of the Quercy countryside.

Montfaucon, a Quercy Village between Cahors and Villefranche

Montfaucon is a village in the Lot located between Cahors and Villefranche-de-Rouergue, in an area of preserved causse plateaus and valleys. The village, with its white stone houses characteristic of Quercy, offers a picturesque setting for this spring car boot sale. The village streets transform for a day into a gallery of treasures and bargains.

Attractive Price of €2 per Meter

The price of €2 per linear meter charged by Les Amis des Montfaucons is deliberately accessible to encourage private participation. This spirit of openness promotes diversity among exhibitors and thus the variety of goods offered to visitors: country furniture, tableware, agricultural tools, books, clothing, toys, and decorative objects make up the bulk of the merchandise.

The Association Les Amis des Montfaucons

The association Les Amis des Montfaucons de France brings together residents passionate about their village and its history. Its activities contribute to preserving and animating local heritage, and its annual car boot sale is one of the highlights of its festive calendar. Volunteers invest themselves throughout the year to ensure this event is a success and a moment of shared enjoyment appreciated by all.
