Vide-Grenier de Souvans

The Souvans Car Boot Sale

Every summer, the village of Souvans in the Jura region hosts a friendly car boot sale on Place Lucien Lambey, in front of the village hall. Organized by the Comité d'Animations et de Loisirs (also known as the festival committee), this event brings together about 100 exhibitors and attracts many visitors from the Jura plain.

A warm welcome for exhibitors

Exhibitors are welcomed from 6:30 am with a free coffee to start the day right. Pitches fill up quickly in the village square and adjacent streets. The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, typical of village car boot sales where people take the time to chat with neighbors while browsing the stalls.

Food and conviviality

The festival committee provides a catering service throughout the day: fries, sausages, and cold drinks at the refreshment stand. This is an opportunity for the residents of Souvans and surrounding towns to meet up for a drink and a rustic meal, between two rounds of bargain hunting.
