UDCU Car Boot Sale of Saint-Martin-d'Uriage

The UDCU Car Boot Sales of Uriage

The Union des Commerçants d'Uriage (UDCU) organizes two car boot sales per year in the majestic Parc d'Uriage avenue. This green and elegant setting, lined with large century-old trees — lime, chestnut, and plane trees —, offers an ideal space for a breath of fresh air treasure hunt. Exhibitors set up their stalls along the Avenue des Thermes, creating a pleasant and shaded route between the historic thermal park and the village center. You can find crockery, trinkets, clothes, books, toys, decorative objects, and sometimes beautiful flea market items.

Uriage-les-Bains, a thermal gem at the foot of Belledonne

Saint-Martin-d'Uriage is a sought-after residential commune, known throughout France for its Uriage-les-Bains spa, nestled in a green valley at the foot of the Belledonne massif, just 15 km from the center of Grenoble. The 19th-century thermal park, with its century-old trees, bandstand, casino, and Grand Hotel, gives these car boot sales a refined and peaceful atmosphere, very different from lowland flea markets. Uriage's thermal waters have been renowned since antiquity for their dermatological properties.

Two unmissable events per year

The UDCU offers two annual editions that have become eagerly awaited events in the diary of Grenoble bargain hunters: one at the beginning of summer in June, and the other at the start of the school year in September. These two dates allow you to enjoy the sumptuous park setting under different lights. The June edition marks the start of the summer season with its long sunny days, while the September edition is bathed in the shimmering colors of the nascent autumn in the mountains, when the first golden foliage adorns the thermal park.

Practical advice

The UDCU car boot sales are held on Sundays from 8 am to 6 pm, with free entry. Parking is available near the park. Take advantage of your visit to discover the spa village, its shops, its restaurants, and the panoramic view of the Belledonne mountain range from the heights of Uriage.
