The Easter Car Boot Sale in Teillots: The Friendliness of the Périgord

Every Easter Sunday, the small village of Teillots comes alive for a country car boot sale that attracts bargain hunters from the Hautefort canton and holidaymakers from the Périgord noir. This spring event, organized by the local festival committee, is an opportunity to find everyday items, clothes, toys, crockery, trinkets, and garden tools at low prices, while enjoying the mild Périgord spring weather.

Teillots, a Village in the Heart of the Périgord Noir

Teillots is a small commune of about 150 inhabitants located in the Hautefort canton, between Périgueux and Brive-la-Gaillarde. The village, nestled in the wooded hills of the Doulou valley, offers a typical country setting of the Périgord noir with its stone houses, walnut trees, and rolling landscapes. Near the majestic Château de Hautefort, Teillots benefits from passing tourism which boosts attendance at its Easter car boot sale.

An Authentic Village Atmosphere

The Teillots car boot sale is distinguished by its authentically rural atmosphere. Stalls are set up in the village center or square, and the event is an opportunity for neighbors to meet, for spring reunions, and for lively discussions around the stands. Friendliness is the watchword of this event, which perpetuates the tradition of Périgord village car boot sales, where people come as much to hunt for bargains as to get together.
