Vide-grenier de Saint-Ferjeux-la-Butte

The Commune Libre de Saint-Ferjeux-la-Butte and its car boot sale

The Saint-Ferjeux district, perched on the heights of southern Besançon, is home to one of the city's most original and picturesque institutions: the Commune Libre de Saint-Ferjeux-la-Butte. This neighborhood association, heir to a long festive and civic tradition, organizes its car boot sale every year in June, which has become an anticipated event for Besançon treasure hunters.

A car boot sale in the spirit of the Commune Libre

The spirit of the Commune Libre imbues this event with a unique atmosphere, halfway between a neighborhood festival and a popular flea market. Exhibitors, mostly residents of the neighborhood, offer their everyday items, clothes, books, toys, and curiosities in a relaxed atmosphere. Visitors come as much to hunt for treasures as to meet their neighbors and share a good time in this district with a strong character.

Saint-Ferjeux, a district with a singular charm

Located on the hills overlooking the old town of Besançon, the Saint-Ferjeux district offers a pleasant green setting for the car boot sale. The basilica of Saint-Ferjeux, a true landmark of the district, and the cobbled streets of the Butte give the event an authentic and endearing atmosphere. The car boot sale is part of the calendar of events organized by the Commune Libre, alongside the famous annual Cavalcade.
