Car boot sale of Saint-Léger-près-Troyes

The Car boot sale of Saint-Léger-près-Troyes: autumn in the countryside

Every first Sunday in October, the village of Saint-Léger-près-Troyes, a peri-urban commune on the outskirts of the Champagne capital of bas-reliefs, transforms into a large second-hand market. The local Festival Committee organizes this annual car boot sale which hosts up to 300 private exhibitors in the village streets, between rue de l'Église and rue de la Joncière. This autumn event has become a must for treasure hunters in the Troyes region.

300 exhibitors in the village streets

The Saint-Léger-près-Troyes car boot sale is distinguished by its village setting, which gives it an authentic charm and an intimate atmosphere that large city center car boot sales cannot offer. The stalls stretch along rue de l'Église and rue de la Joncière, at the village entrances, allowing for pleasant strolling along a marked route. Up to 300 private exhibitors — no professionals are admitted — offer the best of their attics: furniture, tableware, clothing, toys, books, vinyl records, and trinkets of all kinds.

The day lasts from 8 am to 6 pm, leaving plenty of time for bargain hunters to thoroughly search the stalls. Exhibitor registration is capped to ensure the quality and practicality of the event.

An autumn car boot sale well established in the Troyes calendar

Just a few kilometers from the center of Troyes, Saint-Léger-près-Troyes benefits from an ideal geographical location that allows it to attract bargain hunters from the agglomeration without suffering from the saturation of large urban events. The village atmosphere, the quiet streets, and the surrounding rural setting make this car boot sale a refreshing break in the Auboise flea market calendar.

The Festival Committee, with its experience, ensures careful logistical organization every year: signage, exhibitor reception, presence of restrooms, and setting up catering on-site to accompany visitors throughout the day.
