Vide-Grenier de Saint-Agil (Couëtron-au-Perche)

The Saint-Agil Car Boot Sale

Every year in May, the village of Saint-Agil hosts its annual car boot sale. This small town in the Perche vendômois, which has been part of the new commune of Couëtron-au-Perche since 2019, offers a bucolic and authentic setting for this popular treasure hunting day.

A Perche Village Rich in History

Saint-Agil is known for its medieval castle with round towers, one of the most beautiful in the Perche region. The village is nestled in a hilly landscape of hedgerows and meadows, typical of the Perche. This heritage and natural setting adds undeniable charm to this flea market day.

Free Pitches from Dawn

The originality of this car boot sale lies in its very early hours: exhibitors are welcomed from 5:30 AM for a day that lasts until 6 PM. The pitches are free, making it a particularly attractive event for sellers.

The Château de Saint-Agil

The village of Saint-Agil is dominated by its impressive medieval castle, whose round towers and stone keep stand out against the Perche sky. This 13th-15th century castle, privately owned, has been the scene of many local legends. Its characteristic silhouette accompanies the visitors of the car boot sale and gives the village a romantic and mysterious atmosphere unique to the Perche.

The Perche Vendômois

The Perche vendômois is a region of hedgerows and hills located in the northwest of Loir-et-Cher, on the border with Eure-et-Loir and Sarthe. This region is distinguished by its rolling landscapes, its hedgerows, its apple orchards, and its Perche stone manors. Saint-Agil, now part of the new commune of Couëtron-au-Perche, is one of the most characteristic villages of this terroir, with its old houses and preserved rural atmosphere.

An Early Morning Car Boot Sale

The originality of the Saint-Agil car boot sale lies in its very early hours: opening from 5:30 AM, which delights early risers who know that the best deals are made in the first hours. The free pitches attract a significant number of exhibitors, who set up their stalls in the streets and squares of the village. The day continues until 6 PM, also allowing later visitors to enjoy the remaining stalls. The reservation number (06 70 00 68 53) provides information on reception conditions.
