The Villemoirieu car boot sale

Every spring, the small commune of Villemoirieu hosts its traditional car boot sale on the Town Hall square. This village of about 1,200 inhabitants, nestled in the countryside of North Isère between Crémieu and l'Isle-d'Abeau, offers a peaceful and green setting for this popular flea market day.

An authentic village atmosphere

The Villemoirieu car boot sale focuses primarily on simplicity and friendliness. The exhibitors, mainly individuals from the commune and surrounding villages, set up their stalls on the Town Hall square from the morning. You'll find the essentials of a classic car boot sale: crockery, books, children's toys, clothes, trinkets, small decorative items, and everyday objects at modest prices.

A local life event

Beyond the bargain hunting, the Villemoirieu car boot sale is a real moment of local life. Residents meet, chat, and take advantage of this Sunday morning to stroll among the stalls. The event helps to liven up this rural village and strengthen ties between residents. The refreshment stand and light catering, usually run by village volunteers, add a gourmet touch to the day.

A village between Crémieu and l'Isle-d'Abeau

Villemoirieu benefits from a privileged geographical location, halfway between the medieval city of Crémieu and the urban center of l'Isle-d'Abeau. Visitors can take advantage of their trip to the car boot sale to discover the rural heritage of the commune and the rolling landscapes of North Isère, between the Rhône plain and the hills of the Balcons du Dauphiné.

Tips for bargain hunters

To make the most of the Villemoirieu car boot sale, it is advisable to arrive at opening time at 8:30 am to have the first choice among the stalls. Parking is available around the Town Hall square and in the adjacent streets.
