Yoga Club Torreillan Car Boot Sale

A car boot sale under the pines, at the Juhègues pine forest

The Yoga Club Torreillan organizes its annual car boot sale in a rare natural setting: the Juhègues pine forest, a green jewel made up of century-old umbrella pines, located halfway between the village of Torreilles and the beach. This emblematic site, bathed in Mediterranean light and scented with resinous aromas, offers bargain hunters an inimitable atmosphere, far from the usual agitation of urban car boot sales.

The Notre-Dame-de-Juhègues chapel, a Catalan jewel

Right next to the pine forest stands the Notre-Dame-de-Juhègues chapel, a 12th-century Romanesque religious building, a former place of pilgrimage where people have come to honor the Virgin for nearly a thousand years. This small chapel, all in pebbles and golden stones, is a true jewel of Catalan heritage and is one of the most photographed sites in the Salanque. The setting of the car boot sale is truly exceptional, combining nature, religious heritage and associative conviviality.

About 80 exhibitors and a relaxed atmosphere

With around 80 exhibitors, this car boot sale maintains a human size that gives it all its charm. You find the usual mix of everyday items, clothes, toys, books, tableware, trinkets, tools and vinyls, offered by individuals from Torreilles and neighboring communes. The shade of the pines, the catering on site (refreshment bar), free parking nearby and toilets installed for the occasion make it a particularly pleasant meeting, whether you hunt seriously for bargains or come with family for a beautiful spring walk.

Torreilles, a discreet village between Salanque and Mediterranean

Torreilles is a Catalan village of about 3,500 inhabitants, located between Sainte-Marie-la-Mer and Le Barcarès. Its beach, Torreilles-Plage, stretches over several kilometers of preserved fine sand, less frequented than its neighbors, and its landscapes of ponds and pine forests shelter protected fauna and flora. The Yoga Club Torreillan, as its name suggests, offers yoga classes and animates the associative life of the village. The annual car boot sale is one of its highlights of fundraising and conviviality.
