The big May 1st event for bargain hunters in the Dole area
Every May 1st, the Comité des Fêtes de Choisey organizes a large-scale car boot sale at the Jean-Paul Bongiovanni stadium, bringing together nearly 178 private exhibitors. From 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., bargain hunters and strollers walk the aisles in search of good deals among crockery, toys, clothes, and trinkets. Refreshments and fast food are provided on-site by the Foyer Rural and ACCA Saint-Hubert.
The Vide-Grenier de Choisey is one of the unmissable events on May 1st in the Grand Dole region. Jointly organized by the Comité des Fêtes, the Foyer Rural, and the ACCA Saint-Hubert, it takes over the vast car park of the Stade Jean-Paul Bongiovanni every year, offering generous space to the approximately 178 exhibitors who display their treasures.
The green setting of the Choisey stadium, a few kilometers south of Dole, is perfectly suited for this outdoor bargain hunting day. From 7 a.m., the earliest bargain hunters browse the stalls in search of rare finds: garden furniture, crockery, children's toys, books, clothes, and decorative items are displayed side-by-side in a good-natured atmosphere. The sale of new items and food products is prohibited, ensuring the authentic spirit of the car boot sale.
Spaces are offered at 2 euros per linear meter, with a minimum of 5 meters. Registration is done online or by phone before April 25th. In case of bad weather on May 1st, a rain date is systematically planned, usually in mid-May, without requiring new registration for exhibitors already registered.
A refreshment stand and a fast-food stall, run by volunteers from the Foyer Rural, cater to visitors and exhibitors throughout the day. The municipality of Choisey, located in the Dole plain, provides a pleasant setting for this public holiday family outing.
The Choisey car boot sale returns on Friday, May 1st, 2026, at the Jean-Paul Bongiovanni stadium. Approximately 178 exhibitors expected. Postponement planned for May 14th in case of cancellation.
