Car boot sale of Essoyes

In May 2025, the village of Essoyes, famous for its connection to the painter Auguste Renoir, hosted its annual car boot sale. The village streets were enlivened by the stalls of private sellers offering a wide variety of second-hand items to bargain hunters from all over the Aube department.

The exceptional setting of the Ource valley, with its flowery meadows and spring vineyards, contributed to the appeal of this day. Furniture, tableware, books, clothes, and trinkets found buyers among the many visitors. The refreshment stand run by volunteers allowed for extended conversations in a warm atmosphere.

See you in May 2026 for a new edition of this car boot sale in the heart of Renoir country.
