Vide Grenier Créa Déco Seconde Vie 07 of Lamastre

The car boot sale of upcycling and creativity in Lamastre

The Vide Grenier Créa Déco Seconde Vie 07, organized by the association CDSV07, is held every month from June to October at the Pradette parking lot, by the Doux river in Lamastre. This unique event brings together amateur artists from the Ardèche (07) and Drôme (26) departments, creators, and private sellers around a strong idea: giving objects a second life.

The association CDSV07 — Créa Déco Seconde Vie 07 — was founded with the mission to promote creative crafts, object transformation, and decoration using recycled materials. It organizes exhibitions, representation stands, and sales at local events, and participates in wellness fairs and art exhibition openings to raise public awareness about the upcycling approach. The association's headquarters are located in the heart of Lamastre, at 35 rue Chalamet.

A market by the Doux, in an exceptional natural setting

The chosen location for this event is the Pradette parking lot, below the bridge, by the Doux river, a few minutes' walk from the center of Lamastre. This natural and friendly setting, with access to the river, children's play area, and restrooms, makes each edition a pleasant moment for the whole family. A refreshment stand and a pizza food truck regularly animate the site, turning the morning of treasure hunting into a real outdoor outing.

Exhibitors set up from 7 a.m., with opening to visitors from 8 a.m. The market runs until 4 p.m. (4 p.m. or 5 p.m. depending on the dates), offering a wide time window to stroll and find that rare gem.

Upcycling, creations, and second-hand items

The specialty of this car boot sale lies in the space given to creators and artists who transform everyday objects into decorative, artisanal, or artistic pieces. Alongside private sellers offering their household items, many exhibitors present upcycled objects — revamped furniture, repurposed lighting, decorations made from recycled materials — and handmade creations inspired by the second-life philosophy.

You can also find tableware, trinkets, clothing, books, toys, and used furniture, making the event accessible to all audiences: families looking for bargains, seasoned treasure hunters, lovers of local crafts, and tourists passing through Lamastre.

Lamastre and the Pays du Doux, an authentic Ardèche destination

Lamastre is the main town of the Pays du Doux, in Northern Ardèche (07270). Nestled between the Massif Central and the Rhône valley, this region of hedgerows, forests, and gorges offers preserved landscapes of great beauty. The town is particularly known for the Train de l'Ardèche (Mastrou), a historic tourist train that has connected Tournon-sur-Rhône to Lamastre along the Doux gorges since 1891. This steam train, one of the most beautiful in France, attracts thousands of visitors every summer.

The Doux river, which winds at the foot of the Pradette parking lot, is a popular spot for swimming, fishing, and walking. Combined with the monthly car boot sale organized by the CDSV07 association, the site offers a complete experience: treasure hunting, crafts, nature, and local gastronomy in an authentic Ardèche setting.

An association committed to promoting arts and reuse

The association CDSV07 embodies a civic and creative approach, at the crossroads of the circular economy and the promotion of local amateur arts. By organizing these monthly events, it contributes to the animation of Lamastre and the Pays du Doux throughout the high season, while raising awareness among residents and visitors about waste reduction and object reuse. Each edition is an opportunity to discover new creations, meet local artists, and support an economy of reuse and creativity in Ardèche.
