The Farfouille de Blyes: the largest car boot sale in the Ain

Each year on Ascension Day, the Blyes water body hosts one of the most impressive events in the Ain department. With over 500 exhibitors and thousands of visitors, the Farfouille de Blyes has established itself as a must-attend event for treasure hunters from all over the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

An exceptional natural setting

The Blyes water body offers a spectacular backdrop for this giant car boot sale. Stands stretch along the banks and into the surrounding meadows, creating a unique treasure hunting trail in the heart of nature. The green and peaceful setting of the lake invites leisurely strolls, and you can combine bargain hunting with a pleasant walk by the water.

Over 500 exhibitors for all tastes

The size of the event guarantees an exceptional diversity of items on offer. Hundreds of individuals and professionals display their finds in dozens of rows: furniture, clothing, toys, books, crockery, tools, vinyl records, trinkets, decorative objects, and genuine antiques are found together in a joyful disarray. Bargains are plentiful and prices are negotiable.

Entertainment and catering

The day is punctuated by the strolls of a brass band that creates a festive atmosphere throughout the event. Several food stalls offer waffles, fries, sandwiches, ice cream, and drinks, while numerous free parking spaces are available for visitors. Organizers ask to use the designated parking areas and not to park in the village.
