The Saint-Simon Car Boot Sale, an Original Semi-Night Format

Saint-Simon (46320) is a village in the Célé valley, in the Lot, located between Figeac and Cajarc. Its Animation Committee organizes a car boot sale every summer that stands out from usual events with its semi-night format: the event runs from 4 PM to 10 PM, allowing visitors to enjoy the coolest hours of the day for bargain hunting. This feature attracts both regular car boot sale attendees and tourists who prefer summer evenings to sunny afternoons.

Around 75 Private and Professional Exhibitors

The Saint-Simon car boot sale brings together about 75 exhibitors, a mix of private individuals and professionals. Setup starts at 3 PM (one hour before opening to the public), and stalls remain accessible until 10 PM. Entry is from 17 route de Flaujac, in Saint-Simon 46320. You can find clothes, shoes, toys, books, dishes, decorative items, and small second-hand furniture. Registration for exhibitors is via the website www.animationsaintsimon46.fr, under the "activities" tab, or directly on site.

Saint-Simon, Between the Célé and the Causse de Gramat

Saint-Simon is located on the edge of the Célé valley and the Causse de Gramat. The Célé valley, sometimes called the "secret valley" of the Lot, is crossed by the eponymous river at the foot of spectacular limestone cliffs. It is one of the most preserved and authentic areas of the Lot, far from the massive tourist flows of the Dordogne valley. Hikers and cyclists come in large numbers, taking the GR651 trails that run along the Célé from Figeac to its confluence with the Lot near Conduché.

The Saint-Simon Animation Committee

The Saint-Simon Animation Committee is the flagship association for local life. It organizes various events throughout the year, with the semi-night car boot sale being one of its centerpieces. The website www.animationsaintsimon46.fr is the gateway for exhibitors wishing to register and for visitors who want to follow the association's news.
