The annual festival car boot sale: the start of summer in Saint-Germain-les-Vergnes

Every last Sunday in June, the village of Saint-Germain-les-Vergnes comes alive for its annual festival, of which the car boot sale is one of the highlights. Stalls are set up in the village square and adjacent streets, offering a varied range of second-hand items: crockery, trinkets, clothes, toys, books, and small furniture attract bargain hunters from the Tulle and Brive areas.

A festive program for all ages

The annual festival of Saint-Germain-les-Vergnes is not just about the car boot sale: the Festival Committee offers a program rich in entertainment. Children enjoy inflatable structures, street games, and rides, while adults can participate in the traditional pétanque competition. The street entertainment creates a joyful and relaxed atmosphere, conducive to reunions among neighbors and discoveries for passing visitors.

Refreshments and festive dining

The refreshment stand and catering provided by the Festival Committee allow visitors to eat on-site throughout the day. Grills, fries, and drinks accompany this early summer day in a friendly and generous atmosphere, characteristic of Corrèze village festivals.
