Vide Grenier de Saint-Just-d'Ardèche

The annual Vide Grenier of Saint-Just-d'Ardèche

Every spring, the village of Saint-Just-d'Ardèche (07700) comes alive to the rhythm of its large car boot sale and second-hand clothing sale, organized by the Comité des Fêtes Les Drôles d'Aqui. This unmissable event on the local calendar brings together exhibitors and bargain hunters in a friendly atmosphere, in the parking lot of the bar Ambiance Les Bains, in the heart of the village.

Saint-Just-d'Ardèche, a village on the banks of the Rhône

Saint-Just-d'Ardèche is an Ardèche village located on the right bank of the Rhône, on the border between Ardèche and Gard, opposite Aiguèze. This small village of character, near Saint-Martin-d'Ardèche and Bourg-Saint-Andéol, benefits from a remarkable natural setting between the Ardèche gorges and the Rhône valley. It is crossed by the Route des Gorges de l'Ardèche, which ensures significant tourist traffic in the spring.

The Comité des Fêtes Les Drôles d'Aqui

Organizer of the event, the Comité des Fêtes Les Drôles d'Aqui is the association that enlivens the festive and cultural life of Saint-Just-d'Ardèche throughout the year. Its volunteer commitment makes it possible to offer residents and visitors varied and quality events, of which this annual car boot sale is one of the highlights.

A car boot sale and a second-hand clothing sale combined

The peculiarity of this event is that it combines a classic car boot sale — where individuals and professionals exhibit second-hand items, trinkets, crockery, tools, books, vinyl records, toys, and furniture — and a second-hand clothing sale, a space dedicated to used clothing. This dual offering attracts a diverse audience, from collectors to families looking for clothing bargains.

A wide variety of items can be found: adult and children's clothing, shoes, bags, fashion accessories, but also antique objects, crockery, glassware, lighting, books, comic books, records, toys, board games, tools, decorations, and curiosities of all kinds. The annual rotation of exhibitors guarantees a renewal of the offerings from one edition to the next.

A friendly setting in the parking lot of the bar Ambiance Les Bains

The event takes place in the parking lot of the bar Ambiance Les Bains, a space well-known to locals and easy to access. The presence of the bar nearby promotes conviviality: light catering is offered on-site, with barbecue, fries, and drinks, allowing you to spend a full day in a festive and relaxed atmosphere.

Practical organization

The car boot sale opens very early in the morning, from 6 am, to welcome early risers and the most assiduous bargain hunters, until 5 pm. Entry is free for visitors. Individuals wishing to exhibit can rent a pitch at an affordable price. The event is held outdoors and welcomes both individuals and flea market professionals.

A village in the heart of the southern Ardèche region

Saint-Just-d'Ardèche is accessible via the D290 from Bourg-Saint-Andéol (9 km north) or from Saint-Martin-d'Ardèche (3 km south). Its location on the banks of the Rhône, near the famous Gorges de l'Ardèche, makes it a point of passage for many tourists in the spring. The car boot sale thus benefits from mixed attendance, combining residents of the village and neighboring towns, as well as passing tourists in the region.

An event rooted in community life

Beyond simple commercial transactions, this car boot sale is a moment of strong community life for the village. It fosters intergenerational exchanges, creates social bonds, and contributes to the attractiveness of Saint-Just-d'Ardèche. The Comité des Fêtes Les Drôles d'Aqui sees it as a way to finance its activities throughout the year and to maintain a dynamic associative life in this village on the right bank of the Rhône.
