Vide-Grenier du Grand-Bourg

A winter car boot sale in Basse-Marche, Creuse

The Vide-Grenier du Grand-Bourg stands out for its winter schedule in December, an uncommon period for rural flea markets. Around the multi-purpose hall, Place des Tilleuls, exhibitors and bargain hunters gather for a day of good deals despite the cool season. This end-of-year timing particularly attracts visitors looking for original Christmas gifts and unique second-hand items.

Le Grand-Bourg, a town in western Creuse

Le Grand-Bourg is a commune of about 1,200 inhabitants located in western Creuse, on the border with Haute-Vienne. This characteristic town retains a remarkable Romanesque church and architectural heritage typical of Basse-Marche, this former province of Limousin. Place des Tilleuls, with its multi-purpose hall, forms the heart of communal life and provides a suitable space for setting up car boot sale stalls.

A popular event for winter bargain hunters

Despite the cool December temperatures, the Grand-Bourg car boot sale faithfully attracts bargain hunters from Guéret, La Souterraine, and surrounding communes. Clothing, toys, books, crockery, trinkets, and small furniture make up the majority of the stalls. The multi-purpose hall can accommodate some exhibitors indoors, ensuring the smooth running of the event regardless of the weather.
