Saint-Jean-d'Illac, a dynamic commune in the west of Bordeaux

Saint-Jean-d'Illac is a commune of about 9,000 inhabitants located west of Bordeaux, between the metropolis and the Arcachon basin. The commune, bordered by the forest of Landes, benefits from a pleasant living environment between pine forests and residential areas. The name Festillac is a play on words between "fête" (festival) and "Illac", reflecting the festive spirit and local identity of this event which has become a must-attend.

A Car Boot Sale in a Festive Atmosphere

The Festillac car boot sale has the advantage of being part of a broader entertainment program: concerts, street shows, children's games, food stalls. Bargain hunters can alternate between the car boot sale stalls and the various attractions of the festival. Food is provided by local associations and food trucks, offering a wide choice to eat throughout the day.
