Car boot sale of La Rochette

The La Rochette car boot sale

Every summer, the small village of La Rochette, in the Asse valley, hosts a car boot sale in its streets. This human-sized event is emblematic of the small village events in Haute-Provence, where you can hunt for treasures in all simplicity.

An authentic village in Haute-Provence

La Rochette is a small hilltop village typical of the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, surrounded by lavender fields and olive groves. The car boot sale takes place in the village alleys and on the central square, offering a bucolic and peaceful setting for treasure hunting. The atmosphere is family-friendly, far from the hustle and bustle of large urban flea markets.

An eagerly awaited event by the inhabitants

The La Rochette car boot sale is an opportunity for the inhabitants of the village and surrounding hamlets to meet and share a moment of conviviality. Toys, dishes, clothes, and trinkets change hands in good spirits, accompanied by a glass of pastis or a coffee offered by the festival committee.
