Vide-grenier du Meyrol

The Vide-grenier du Meyrol: every Saturday in Montélimar

Every Saturday, the Meyrol district in Montélimar hosts its weekly car boot sale at 26 avenue Gaston Vernier. This local event has become a familiar part of the neighborhood's landscape over the years, where neighbors and regulars meet to sell their second-hand items, hunt for bargains, or simply cross paths.

A neighborhood car boot sale in the heart of the Drôme provençale

Montélimar, a town of 40,000 inhabitants located at the confluence of the Rhône and Roubion rivers, is world-renowned for its traditional nougat. Its Meyrol district, in the northwestern part of the city, is a lively residential area. The weekly car boot sale plays a role in social connection, allowing residents to give their belongings a second life while saving money.

An accessible and hassle-free formula

Like most weekly car boot sales, the Meyrol one operates on a direct participation basis: sellers arrive early in the morning to set up, without complex reservations. The items offered are varied—clothing, toys, books, dishes, trinkets, small appliances—reflecting the diversity of households in the neighborhood.

Montélimar, a crossroads of the Drôme and Provence

Ideally located on the Rhône-Alpes / Provence axis, Montélimar is a natural stopover between Lyon and Marseille. Its historic town center, shaded avenues, and proximity to the Drôme Prealps make it a pleasant destination. Stopping by the Vide-grenier du Meyrol on a Saturday morning is also an opportunity to discover or rediscover this charming town in the southern Drôme.
