Vide-Grenier de Moussan

The Moussan Car Boot Sale

Moussan is a village in the Narbonne plain, located a few kilometers northwest of Narbonne, in the Aude. This agricultural town, crossed by the Aude river, organizes a popular car boot sale every year that brings together the residents of the commune and bargain hunters from the Narbonne urban area for a friendly day of second-hand market.

Moussan, between the Aude and the wine-growing plain

The territory of Moussan extends between the banks of the Aude river and the vineyards of the Narbonne plain. This historically agricultural village has seen its population grow with the development of the Narbonne urban area, but has managed to preserve its village identity and its associative life. The human fabric of Moussan, a mix of former farmers, neo-rural residents, and families from Narbonne, gives the village a diversity that is reflected in the organization of its festive events.

A Car Boot Sale in the Aude Plain

The Moussan car boot sale is held in the public squares and spaces of the village center, attracting private sellers from Moussan and neighboring communes in the Narbonne urban area — Narbonne, Coursan, Ginestas, Argeliers, Saint-Marcel-sur-Aude. The diversity of the populations that make up the peri-urban area of Narbonne guarantees a variety of items offered: clothing of all kinds, furniture and appliances, toys and books for children and adults, tableware and kitchen items, DIY and garden tools, trinkets and curiosities. This abundance makes the Moussan car boot sale particularly rich for bargain hunters.

Proximity to Narbonne

Moussan's location in the immediate vicinity of Narbonne is an asset for its car boot sale. Narbonne, the third largest city in the Aude after Carcassonne and Castelnaudary, has a significant population base that feeds visitors to events in the surrounding communes. The Moussan car boot sale thus benefits from significant attendance, higher than that of car boot sales in more isolated villages in the department.

Southern Atmosphere Guaranteed

As everywhere in the Narbonne plain, summer car boot sales are held under a generous sun and in a warm southern atmosphere. Moussan volunteers run a refreshment stand throughout the event, providing drinks and light snacks for exhibitors and visitors. Entry is free for everyone.

Register as an Exhibitor

Individuals wishing to exhibit at the Moussan car boot sale can contact the town hall or the festival committee. Registrations are open to non-professionals residing in the commune and to outsiders, subject to available space.
