Spring Car Boot Sale of Ychoux

The Spring Car Boot Sale of Ychoux

Every year at the beginning of spring, the Ychoux village hall, rue Félix Arnaudin, hosts the spring car boot sale. This event, organized for the benefit of the commune's schools, combines a classic daytime car boot sale with a festive evening with Landes catering.

Daytime and Evening Format

The car boot sale runs from 7 AM to 6 PM during the day, with the possibility to browse indoors or outdoors depending on the weather conditions. In the evening, from 7:30 PM to 11 PM, the event transforms into a local festival with catering and entertainment. This extended format makes the spring car boot sale a true day of conviviality.

Landes Gastronomy in the Spotlight

Landes tripe, an essential culinary specialty of the department, is offered for breakfast. The lunch meal features local dishes, while sweet treats are available throughout the day. The profits from the catering and the car boot sale are donated to the commune's schools.

Ychoux, Village of the Landes Forest

Ychoux is a commune in the Pays de Born in the Landes region, located between Parentis-en-Born and Pissos, in the heart of the maritime pine forest. The village, crossed by the former national road 10, is a transit point between the coast and the Landes hinterland. The village hall, an emblematic place of communal life, hosts many events throughout the year.

A Car Boot Sale for the Schools

The profits from the spring car boot sale are entirely donated to the schools of the commune of Ychoux. These funds help finance educational trips, the purchase of educational materials, and the organization of shows for children. The commitment of parents and volunteers is evident in both the organization of the event and the preparation of the catering, with the essential Landes tripe served for breakfast. The day and evening format, rare for a car boot sale, reflects the organizers' ambition to offer a complete festive experience to the Ychoux community.
