On Sunday, August 3, 2025, the Quartier du Pontreau in Ruffec hosted the 24th edition of the car boot sale, organized by the Association de la Brocante du Pontreau. Approximately 250 exhibitors, both individuals and professionals, set up along Chemin des Vallées, rue Boitant, and the surroundings of the arboretum for a huge summer sale.
Visitors flocked from 7 am to browse the stalls offering furniture, tableware, toys, clothing, books, trinkets, and various second-hand items. Food trucks, hot and cold drinks, and Italian ice cream allowed bargain hunters to refuel throughout the day. The pitch price of 2 euros per linear meter appealed to many exhibitors, and the strongly recommended pre-registration ensured smooth organization of the event.
The Association is preparing the 25th edition for Sunday, August 2, 2026, at the same location.
