Vide-Grenier d'Automne d'Argentine

Autumn car boot sale in Argentine, Maurienne Valley

The Argentine autumn car boot sale is an annual event organised by the dynamic Argentine Festival Committee in this commune of the Maurienne Valley, Savoie. Scheduled for October, this car boot sale marks the end of the summer season and offers a last chance to browse before winter arrives in the mountains.

A popular end-of-season gathering

Autumn car boot sales have a special charm. The atmosphere is more intimate than the large summer sales, and sellers, often village residents and neighbours, offer their items with touching authenticity. You'll find everything: winter clothing, ski equipment, toys, books, crockery, ornaments, small furniture, tools and decorative items.

Argentine, a Maurienne village

Argentine is a commune in the lower Maurienne Valley, between Aiguebelle and Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne. The village takes its name from the silver mines that were worked in the area during the Middle Ages.

The Maurienne in autumn

Autumn in the Maurienne offers magnificent landscapes: larch forests turn golden, peaks begin to be dusted with snow, and villages regain their tranquillity after summer.
