The Larbey Car Boot Sale, a November 11th Tradition

Larbey, a small village in the Chalosse region of the Landes, located between Mugron and Hagetmau, organizes its car boot sale every year on November 11th. This public holiday allows treasure hunters to take advantage of a day off to come and find treasures in this peaceful and authentic rural setting.

An Unusual Venue: Café Boissec

The Larbey car boot sale is distinguished by its venue: it is held at Café Boissec, at 303 Route de l'Église. This village café, a quintessential place for rural social life, welcomes exhibitors in its indoor and outdoor spaces. The atmosphere is particularly warm, combining the pleasure of treasure hunting with that of sharing a coffee among neighbors and visitors.

Attic Treasures in a Rural Setting

Exhibitors offer a wide variety of items: vintage items, second-hand clothing, books, toys, tableware, tools, and various trinkets. The charm of this car boot sale lies in its intimate format and the quality of exchanges between sellers and buyers. You can sometimes find surprising pieces, brought out from the attics of the surrounding Chalosse farms.

Larbey, a Chalosse Village

Larbey is a small village of a few hundred inhabitants, nestled in the hills of Chalosse. Its church, traditional farms, and rolling landscapes of meadows and oak forests form a typical backdrop of this Landes region, renowned for its gastronomy (foie gras, magret, armagnac) and its art of living. The car boot sale is an opportunity to discover this preserved terroir.
