Vide-grenier de la Boule d'Assas

The car boot sale at the foot of the garrigue

The Vide-grenier de la Boule d'Assas (34820) takes place at the football stadium and its surroundings, in this charming village located at the foot of the Pic Saint-Loup, about fifteen kilometers north of Montpellier. Organized by the pétanque association À la Boule d'Assas, this open-air event welcomes individuals wishing to sell clothes, toys, books, crockery, tools, and everyday items. The generous space of the stadium allows for comfortable setup for exhibitors and easy circulation for visitors.

Assas, a village of character between vineyards and garrigue

Nestled in the hills north of Montpellier, Assas is a picturesque village that has retained its authenticity despite its proximity to the metropolis. Its 17th-century château, its stone alleys, and its Romanesque church form a remarkable architectural heritage. The Assas wine region produces wines under the Pic Saint-Loup appellation, one of the most renowned in Languedoc. The stadium, located below the village, benefits from a green setting bordered by pine and holm oak trees, giving the car boot sale a rustic and peaceful atmosphere.

An association that animates the village

The association À la Boule d'Assas, known for its pétanque tournaments, is expanding its activities with this car boot sale, which has become a popular event for residents. The snack bar offers drinks and light refreshments, extending the event in a village festival atmosphere. The success of the first edition in 2024 has led the association to make this an annual event.
