Vide-Grenier de Biarne

The Biarne car boot sale, an unmissable spring event in the Jura

For nearly thirty years, the Biarne car boot sale has marked the arrival of spring in the Doloise plain. Organized by the Foyer Rural de Biarne-Saint-Vivant, this event has established itself as one of the most important car boot sales in the Dole area, regularly attracting over 142 exhibitors and several hundred visitors. The 2026 edition marks the 29th edition of this unmissable event.

A village between Dole and the Chaux forest

Biarne is a small village located a few kilometers southeast of Dole, at the gates of the Chaux forest, the second largest deciduous forest in France. The Rue de l'Église and its surroundings are transformed for a day into a vast open-air market where bargain hunters can rummage through a wide variety of offerings: furniture, antique crockery, clothes, books, toys, garden tools, and decorative objects.

Tips for successful bargain hunting in Biarne

Regulars know it: to find the best deals, it's best to arrive right at opening time at 6 am. Exhibitors set up along the main street and in the adjacent areas. The ground is accessible whatever the weather. The refreshment stand and catering stand offered by the Foyer Rural allow you to regain strength between finds. The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, typical of this welcoming Jura village.

An event that opens the season

Scheduled for the last Sunday of March, the Biarne car boot sale is often the first major outdoor event of the year in the Doloise plain. After the long winter months, bargain hunters and exhibitors are happy to meet again to inaugurate the season of Jura flea markets. This strategic position in the calendar, combined with the proximity of Dole and a significant population base, explains the constant success of this event for nearly three decades.
