The Vide-Grenier d'Estissac: Spring Bargain Hunting in the Pays d'Othe

Every April, Stade Caroline in Estissac transforms into a vast spring bargain hunting space. The annual car boot sale of this commune in the Pays d'Othe, located about twenty kilometers southwest of Troyes, is one of the first major events of the season in the Aube department. Private sellers and visitors gather for an outdoor day, taking advantage of the first sunny days to rummage through stalls and find good deals.

A Spring Car Boot Sale at Stade Caroline

Stade Caroline offers a sporting and friendly setting for this early-season car boot sale. The outdoor space can accommodate a good number of private sellers offering the usual items: furniture, tableware, clothing, toys, books, tools, and various knick-knacks. The organization is handled locally, ensuring a warm welcome and an authentically village atmosphere.

The event takes place over two days—the weekend of April 5th and 6th, 2025—which distinguishes it from many Aube car boot sales that are limited to a single day. This weekend format allows sellers to present their items for a longer period and visitors to return and browse without time pressure.

Estissac and the Pays d'Othe

Estissac is a dynamic town in the Pays d'Othe, a vast forest massif straddling the Aube and Yonne departments, known for its cherry orchards and preserved rural landscapes. The commune has an active associative and commercial life, with a lively weekly market. The annual car boot sale is part of this tradition of conviviality and exchange that characterizes the communes of the Pays d'Othe.

Estissac's geographical location, between Troyes and the Yonne, makes it a natural meeting point for bargain hunters from all over the southern Aube region. The forest roads of the Pays d'Othe, lined with picturesque villages, invite you to extend your flea market day with a stroll through this preserved territory.
