Vide-Grenier de Lorignac

The Vide-Grenier de Lorignac: The Back-to-School Flea Market in Haute Saintonge

Every year in September, the Lorignac Festival Committee organizes its traditional back-to-school car boot sale on the lawn of the village hall. This popular event attracts bargain hunters from all over Haute Saintonge and northern Gironde for a day of good deals and conviviality.

Lorignac, a village in Haute Saintonge

Lorignac is a small rural commune in Charente-Maritime, located between Montendre and Mirambeau, in the rolling landscape of Haute Saintonge. This peaceful village, surrounded by vineyards and forests, offers an ideal rural setting for a flea market day. The spacious and shaded lawn of the village hall is a perfect location to host the exhibitors' stalls.

Very attractive prices

One of the particularities of this car boot sale is its exceptionally low exhibitor rate: €1 per linear meter, with one meter offered free to Lorignac residents. Artisans and traders benefit from a flat rate of €20 including electricity. These accessible prices attract many exhibitors, both individuals and professionals, and guarantee a diverse offering for visitors.

Conviviality and catering

The Festival Committee provides refreshments and on-site catering, allowing visitors to eat throughout the day. The atmosphere is relaxed and family-friendly, with free parking making access easy. From 6 am to 7 pm, everyone can find something to their liking among the crockery, second-hand clothes, toys, trinkets, tools, and small furniture offered by the exhibitors.
