Spring Car Boot Sale of US Aubenas Basket

The US Aubenas Basket Spring Car Boot Sale in Vals-les-Bains

Every April, the municipal wooded park of the Vals-les-Bains casino transforms into a vast open-air second-hand market. US Aubenas Basket, a sports club firmly rooted in the Aubenas-Vals region, organizes its annual spring car boot sale in this green and idyllic setting, in the heart of the Ardèche spa town. Private sellers, bargain hunters of all kinds, and families gather for this festive day dedicated to second-hand goods and good deals.

An exceptional setting in the heart of the spa town

Vals-les-Bains is a renowned spa town nestled in the Volane valley, in southern Ardèche. Its municipal wooded park, adjacent to the casino, is one of the town's green lungs: century-old trees, shaded alleys, and welcoming lawns make it a popular spot for both locals and visitors. It is in this bucolic setting that the car boot sale stalls are set up each spring, offering a particularly pleasant atmosphere for browsing under the foliage.

The town of Vals-les-Bains (07600), part of the community of communes of the Pays d'Aubenas-Vals, benefits from a central geographical location in southern Ardèche, a few kilometers from Aubenas and close to the Ardèche gorges. Its thermal heritage, mineral springs, and Belle Époque architecture attract many visitors each year, who can take the opportunity to stop by the car boot sale during their visit.

This commitment to local entertainment demonstrates the central role played by sports clubs in the social fabric of Ardèche communities.
