Family and festive car boot sale at the IUT car park in Brive-la-Gaillarde
The Vide-Grenier Festif de Brive-la-Gaillarde takes place every year in May in the IUT car park, rue Jules Vallès. Organized by the association of the Conseil de Quartier 11 Brive IUT, this family event combines a traditional car boot sale with festive activities for young and old. The friendly and warm atmosphere of this spring event attracts families from the university district and surrounding areas. Since 2025, a new feature has enriched the program: the Kermesse Gaillarde, with games and activities for all ages. Pitches are offered at 5 euros for 2.5 meters, making the event accessible to all private sellers.
Every spring, the IUT district of Brive-la-Gaillarde comes alive for a Sunday in May with its festive car boot sale. Located in the vast car park of the Institut Universitaire de Technologie, rue Jules Vallès, this event combines popular treasure hunting with neighborhood activities in a resolutely family-friendly and warm atmosphere.
Since 2025, the car boot sale has been enhanced by the Kermesse Gaillarde, a program of activities designed to entertain young and old throughout the day. Skill games, creative workshops, music, and surprises punctuate this event, which goes beyond a simple car boot sale to become a true neighborhood festival. Families appreciate this original formula that allows them to hunt for treasures while having fun.
Organized by the association of the Conseil de Quartier 11 Brive IUT, this car boot sale illustrates the associative dynamism of this area of the city. The university district, usually frequented by students and teachers, opens its doors for a Sunday to all Brivistes and visitors from neighboring towns. Sellers, exclusively private individuals, offer clothes, toys, books, crockery, decorative objects, and a thousand finds at low prices.
Brive-la-Gaillarde perpetuates a long tradition of fairs and markets dating back to the Middle Ages. The famous market of Brive, held three times a week under the Halle Georges Brassens and in the market square, testifies to this commercial vitality. The festive car boot sale at the IUT is part of this dynamic by offering an accessible and popular spring event in the heart of the university district.
Pitches are offered at €5 for 2.5 linear meters. The event is open to all visitors free of charge. For information and registration, contact the association of the Conseil de Quartier 11 at 06 26 01 51 92 or by email at [email protected].
