Car boot sale of the Moncorneil-Grazan village festival

The car boot sale of the village festival in Moncorneil-Grazan

Every year in May, Moncorneil-Grazan (32260) hosts a car boot sale as part of its village festival. From 8 am to 6:30 pm, private exhibitors set up in the village center to offer treasure hunters a varied selection of everyday items, at a rate of €2 per linear meter.

Village festival and flea market: the Gascon formula

The integration of the car boot sale into the village festival is a tradition deeply rooted in Gascon culture. This association gives the event a festive dimension that goes beyond a simple flea market: music, entertainment, food, and games accompany the treasure hunting, creating a full day of entertainment for the whole family. The car boot sale stands are alongside the festival attractions in a joyful and relaxed atmosphere.

Moncorneil-Grazan, between Auch and Mirande

Moncorneil-Grazan is a rural commune in the Gers, formed from the merger of two former villages: Moncorneil and Grazan. Located between Auch and Mirande, it is part of the Astarac region, a former Gascon viscounty. The surrounding landscape mixes cultivated hillsides, meadows, and groves, offering a characteristic panorama of southern Gers, sometimes enhanced by views of the Pyrenees mountain range on clear days.

Generous hours until 6:30 pm

With a closing time of 6:30 pm, the Moncorneil-Grazan car boot sale offers particularly generous hours. This extended period allows late visitors to enjoy the last hours of the afternoon, often conducive to the most advantageous negotiations. Exhibitors also appreciate these extended hours which maximize sales opportunities, while the village festival extends the evening beyond the car boot sale.

The Astarac Gersois: a region to discover

The Astarac is one of the historic regions of the Gers, located in the southern part of the department. This land of hills and valleys, crossed by small Pyrenean rivers, offers landscapes of great softness. The Romanesque heritage is rich, with many small rural churches. The Moncorneil-Grazan car boot sale is an opportunity to discover this discreet but charming region, between flea market stalls and village festivities.
