The Lamure Car Boot Sale, a Riverside Rendezvous

The hamlet of Lamure is one of the discreet jewels of Bas-en-Basset (43210). Nestled in a meander of the Loire, surrounded by the waters of this great river, this charming hamlet hosts an annual car boot sale organized by the Lamure43 association every September. With around 100 exhibitors and guaranteed PMR accessibility, it is one of the most popular treasure hunting events in the Monistrol-sur-Loire area.

The Lamure43 Association, Village Dynamism on the Riverbank

The association of residents of the village of Lamure, known as Lamure43, is the driving force behind the community life of this hamlet. In addition to organizing the annual car boot sale, it regularly mobilizes residents to maintain and beautify the hamlet throughout the seasons. Under the leadership of its president Annie Bonny, the association embodies the dynamism of small rural communities that enrich the social fabric of Haute-Loire.

Around 100 Exhibitors for a Generous Offer

The Lamure car boot sale brings together around 100 exhibitors, making it one of the significant events in the area. This critical mass of exhibitors guarantees a diverse and abundant offering for visitors: antique furniture, tableware, clothing, toys, books, tools, appliances, and decorative items are displayed in the hamlet's alleys. Regular attendees know they need to arrive early to find the best pieces.

PMR Accessibility and Impeccable Organization

The Lamure43 association has taken care to make the event accessible to people with reduced mobility. PMR accessibility is a rare and valuable feature in rural car boot sales, which are often held on uneven terrain. This attention to inclusivity demonstrates the association's commitment to an event open to all. The pitch fee of €2 per meter is also very affordable.

The Exceptional Setting of Lamure on the Banks of the Loire

The geographical location of the hamlet of Lamure is particularly remarkable. Surrounded by the Loire, which forms a meander around it, the village offers a unique topography with views of the river and the granite cliffs that border it. A chapel dedicated to Saint Agatha, a Sicilian martyr, has watched over the hamlet for centuries. This exceptional heritage and natural setting contributes to the unique charm of the Lamure car boot sale, which is unlike any other in Haute-Loire.
