Vide-Grenier de Gredisans

The Gredisans car boot sale

Every year in June, the small village of Gredisans hosts its annual car boot sale in the village streets. Private sellers set up their stalls from the morning to offer bargain hunters a wide variety of second-hand items: crockery, clothes, toys, books, trinkets, and small furniture. This rural event has become a must-attend for flea market enthusiasts in the Val d'Amour.

A village in the Jura plain

Gredisans is a peaceful village in the Jura plain, located between Dole and Arbois, near the famous Chaux forest, the second largest deciduous forest in France. The municipality, with about 200 inhabitants, is part of the Val d'Amour community of communes. Its stone houses and quiet streets offer an authentic setting for this village flea market day. The village is crossed by hiking trails that allow you to extend your visit with a walk in the Jura countryside.

Bargain hunting in a rural setting

The atmosphere of the Gredisans car boot sale is that of a country flea market, where you take the time to rummage and chat with the sellers. Bargain hunters find their happiness among the various stalls. Antique crockery, flea market trinkets, retro toys, and vintage clothes are found alongside garden tools and second-hand books. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, far from the hustle and bustle of large urban flea markets.

A friendly event

Refreshments and food are available on-site to extend the day pleasantly. The car boot sale is generally held on a Sunday in June. Entry is free for visitors. It is advisable to come early in the morning to find the best bargains. Parking is easy on the outskirts of the village, in a green and relaxing setting.
