The Soulaires car boot sale, run by the festival committee

Every year in June, the Soulaires festival committee organizes the village's annual car boot sale. This friendly event takes place on Grande Rue in the center of this small town in Eure-et-Loir, a few kilometers from Maintenon.

The Soulaires car boot sale welcomes private sellers and visitors from 9 am to 6 pm, for a full day of outdoor treasure hunting. Registration for sellers takes place before the event, with 3-meter pitches for 10 euros, available only to individuals wishing to clear out their attics.

A day of treasure hunting in the village of Soulaires

Grande Rue in Soulaires is the heart of this village, enlivened by its active festival committee. Clothes, furniture, toys, books, crockery, and various objects are displayed on the sidewalks and in the street for the delight of bargain hunters. The atmosphere of village car boot sales is particularly enjoyable here: friendliness, exchanges, and discoveries await.

The Soulaires festival committee ensures the organization and smooth running of the event, allowing both sellers and visitors to have a pleasant day. Drinks and light refreshments may be offered depending on the edition.

Soulaires, a commune in the Maintenon area

Soulaires is a commune in Eure-et-Loir, in the Maintenon area, about thirty kilometers southwest of Chartres. This rural village is bordered by the Eure river and surrounded by agricultural plains characteristic of Beauce chartraine.

Maintenon, a neighboring commune, is famous for its 17th-century castle, the remains of the Maintenon aqueduct commissioned by Louis XIV, and its French gardens. The area attracts many visitors, and the Soulaires car boot sale benefits from this regional tourist appeal to welcome an audience from across the department.

Practical information for sellers

Registration takes place at the Soulaires town hall according to a schedule defined before the event. The 3-meter pitch is offered at 10 euros. Sellers must be non-professional individuals. To find out the exact registration dates and procedures, contact the Soulaires festival committee.
