The Car Boot Sale in the Bastide of Tournon-d'Agenais

Every summer, the perched bastide of Tournon-d'Agenais (47370) comes alive with its car boot sale and its Rues en Fête. This popular event transforms the cobbled streets of the medieval bastide into a large festive market where car boot sales, street sales, crafts, and entertainment coexist in an authentic village festival atmosphere.

A Perched Medieval Bastide

Tournon-d'Agenais is one of the most spectacular bastides in Lot-et-Garonne. Founded in the 13th century on a rocky promontory overlooking the Boudouyssou valley, it offers an exceptional 360-degree panorama of the hills of Quercy blanc and Villeneuvois. Its medieval streets, stone houses, Gothic church, and covered market make this village a classified site of great heritage value. Bargain hunting in its streets is like traveling back in time while searching for a good deal.

Rues en Fête

The car boot sale is part of the Rues en Fête program, the major summer village festival of Tournon-d'Agenais. Two full weekends in July and August are dedicated to these festivities, which include street sales, games, dances, music, artisan markets, and gourmet evenings. The car boot sale naturally integrates into this, adding its touch of popular flea market to this complete festive event.

The "Les Doigts de Fées" Association

The association Les Doigts de Fées is one of the driving forces behind the animation of Tournon-d'Agenais, notably organizing the car boot sale in the parking lot on Route de Libos. Exhibitors are welcomed from 8:00 AM, and the day continues until late afternoon, with on-site catering.

Tournon-d'Agenais, a Jewel of Quercy Agenais

The Tournon-d'Agenais (47370) area is a territory straddling Lot-et-Garonne and the borders of Quercy. The landscapes of white causse and oak forests surrounding the bastide contrast with the green valleys that encircle it. Visiting this village is one of the must-dos for rural tourism in the east of the department, and its summer car boot sale is the perfect opportunity to combine heritage discovery and a country flea market.
