Vide-Grenier de Contes

The annual car boot sale of Contes

Contes, a perched village in the Paillon valley in the hinterland of Nice. The annual car boot sale is held in the picturesque setting of this medieval village.

A tradition of treasure hunting in Alpes-Maritimes

As in many communes in the Alpes-Maritimes, Contes organizes a car boot sale every year that brings together residents and visitors from neighboring communes. Private exhibitors offer a wide selection of second-hand items: clothing, toys, books, crockery, small furniture, and decorative objects at accessible prices.

A moment of local conviviality

The car boot sale is a highlight of local life. It is an opportunity for residents to meet, hunt for treasures, and share a moment of conviviality. The refreshment stand and catering, often run by volunteers from local associations, complete this outdoor day in the pleasant setting of the Alpes-Maritimes.
