Vide-Grenier de Lesmont

The Lesmont Car Boot Sale

In the heart of the Aube summer, the village of Lesmont (10500) hosts its annual car boot sale every August. This rural commune, crossed by the river Aube, is the ideal setting for a day of outdoor treasure hunting, far from the hustle and bustle of big cities. The Lesmont car boot sale is part of the tradition of summer village events in Champagne.

A Village on the Banks of the Aube

Lesmont is a small commune in the northeast of the Aube department, in the Grand Est region. It is crossed by the river Aube and surrounded by meadows and cereal crops typical of Champagne. The proximity of the lake of the Forêt d'Orient, a large artificial body of water popular in the summer, contributes to the liveliness of this area during the summer season, and the Lesmont car boot sale benefits from this tourist influx.

Summer Treasures

Private sellers from Lesmont and neighboring villages set up their stalls in the public areas of the commune, offering their second-hand items. You can find a mix of antique furniture, crockery, books, vinyl records, toys, clothes of all sizes, and trinkets of all kinds. The diversity of items on display guarantees finds for all tastes and budgets, whether you are a seasoned collector or simply looking for a bargain.

Summer conviviality

August is a time for meeting and exchanging. The Lesmont car boot sale is also a moment of conviviality for the villagers and passing holidaymakers. A refreshment stand and sometimes light catering are offered by volunteers, allowing for a pleasant break under the summer sun. Children and families are welcome for this Sunday outing in the Champagne countryside.
