PACO Car Boot Sale of Gardanne

The year 2025 was eventful for the PACO Car Boot Sale in Gardanne, which maintained its bi-monthly rhythm at 64 avenue de Nice. On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month, starting at 5:30 AM, bargain hunters from the Aix-Marseille metropolitan area flocked to this popular event to browse the stalls of the 100 exhibitors present.

The stalls offered a varied selection typical of Provençal car boot sales: clothing and fashion accessories, toys and children's games, tableware and kitchen items, trinkets and decorative objects, books and comics, small furniture, and tools. Negotiable prices and the relaxed atmosphere contributed to the success of each edition.

Starting from September 2025, the organizer Paco Juan de Dios implemented a system of mandatory registration for sellers, to be completed before the Tuesday preceding each Sunday. This measure, reinforced in February 2026 by a municipal decree, aims to better manage the event and ensure quality reception. The PACO Car Boot Sale continues in 2026 according to the same bi-monthly schedule.
