The Rugby School Car Boot Sale: A May 1st Tradition in Lauragais

Every year on May 1st, the Rugby School of Villefranche-de-Lauragais organizes its car boot sale at the town's rugby stadium. This unifying event brings together bargain hunters and families in a relaxed atmosphere, in the heart of the bastide town founded in the 13th century.

A Car Boot Sale in the Heart of Sports Facilities

The rugby stadium offers a spacious and easily accessible setting to host exhibitors and visitors. 3-meter pitches are offered at a price of 7 euros, making participation accessible to all individuals wishing to clear out their attics. The open space of the stadium allows for smooth circulation between the stalls and offers appreciable comfort for bargain hunting.

An Event Supporting Local Rugby

The profits from this event are entirely donated to the Rugby School of FCV (Football Club Villefranche), helping to fund equipment and travel for young rugby players. It's an opportunity for residents of the town and surrounding areas to support local sports while finding good deals. Food and refreshments are provided on site by the club's volunteers.
