Vide-Grenier de Saint-Pierre-d'Allevard

A large car boot sale in Belledonne

Saint-Pierre-d'Allevard organizes one of the largest car boot sales in the area each September, with around 250 exhibitors spread throughout the village center. The event takes place outdoors and attracts bargain hunters from all over the Grésivaudan, the Combe de Savoie, and neighboring valleys. The diversity and quality of the items offered — clothing for the whole family, toys, crockery and tableware, books, small furniture, gardening tools, vinyl records, winter sports equipment, and trinkets — make it a must-attend event for bargain hunters in the area.

Saint-Pierre-d'Allevard, gateway to the Belledonne chain

A commune in the Bréda valley, Saint-Pierre-d'Allevard is a foothill village located 3 km from Pontcharra, 20 km from Chambéry, and 40 km from Grenoble and Albertville. At the entrance to the majestic Belledonne chain, the village benefits from a splendid mountain setting while remaining very accessible via the A41 motorway. The village center, with its local shops, town hall square, and lively streets, offers a suitable space to host the stalls of the 250 exhibitors. The weekly Saturday morning market testifies to the commercial dynamism of this town.

A well-organized event for 25 years

With 25 editions under its belt, the Saint-Pierre-d'Allevard car boot sale has established itself and built a loyal following. Registration is mandatory for exhibitors, at a rate of €4.50 per linear meter. Parking is signposted and arrowed to facilitate access and unloading. Exhibitors can set up from the early morning hours for an early start that delights the most avid bargain hunters, those who arrive at 7:30 AM to sift through the first stalls.

Practical advice

The car boot sale is held from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Bring comfortable shoes, cash, and a large bag. The on-site refreshment stand and catering will allow you to spend the day. Take advantage of your visit to discover the Bréda valley and its hiking trails.
