Car boot sale of Simiane-Collongue

On June 1, 2025, Place Le-Sévigné in Simiane-Collongue hosted another edition of its annual car boot sale, organized by the association 4 Pattes Sur Mon Cœur. From 6 a.m., sellers set up their stalls in the village square, offering visitors a wide variety of items: Provencal crockery and ceramics, old and new books, clothing for the whole family, toys, decorative trinkets, small furniture, and various tools.

The setting of Simiane-Collongue added to the charm of this edition. Dominated by the Clock Tower, a former pentagonal watchtower from the 13th century, the village offers an authentically Provencal atmosphere with its shaded alleys and stone squares. Visitors could extend their morning of bargain hunting by discovering the Château de Simiane, the last Ancien Régime country house built in Provence, or the Saint-Pierre Church with its seven historical monuments.

The warm and family-friendly atmosphere that characterizes this car boot sale confirmed its place in the associative and convivial life of this village of 5,800 inhabitants, the gateway to the hiking trails of the Étoile mountain range and the Pilon du Roi.
