Annual car boot sale in the heart of the Marais Poitevin, hamlet of La Garette in Sansais
The La Garette car boot sale takes place every year in this emblematic hamlet of the Marais Poitevin, in the commune of Sansais. With around 95 exhibitors, this event takes over the Rue des Gravées for a day of outdoor treasure hunting in an exceptional natural setting. Located alongside the channels and waterways of the 'Green Venice', La Garette offers a unique backdrop for finding clothing, toys, tableware, décor and bric-a-brac items, between boat landings and traditional Marais houses.
La Garette is one of the most picturesque hamlets of the Marais Poitevin. This boating village, nestled in the heart of the 'Green Venice', is famous for its boat landings, ash-lined canals and low houses with colourful shutters. Each year, the annual car boot sale takes over the Rue des Gravées, the hamlet's main street, transforming this walking spot into a vast open-air treasure market.
With some 95 exhibitors, the La Garette car boot sale has gained a reputation well beyond the commune of Sansais. Stalls stretch along the Rue des Gravées, offering clothing, toys, tableware, trinkets, books, tools, décor items and antiques.
La Garette is one of the main boat landings for punt trips in the Wet Marsh. This hamlet attracts thousands of visitors each year who come to discover the shaded canals and exceptional wildlife of the Marais Poitevin.
The La Garette car boot sale returns on Sunday 19 April 2026 along the Rue des Gravées, in the heart of the Marais Poitevin. Around 95 exhibitors will offer clothing, toys, tableware, décor and antiques. Free admission. Contact: 06 76 68 35 95 / [email protected].
