The Allées Cavalières Car Boot Sale: A Flagship Event in Burgundy's Flea Market Scene

Every second Sunday in September, the Allées Cavalières district in Quetigny transforms into a huge open-air market. Organized by ADIPHAC (Association de Développement des Initiatives et des Projets des Habitants des Allées Cavalières), this car boot sale has become over the years one of the most important flea market gatherings in Burgundy, attracting thousands of visitors from across the region.

Nearly 250 Exhibitors Over 1,800 Meters

The car boot sale extends along Rue René Cassin and the adjacent avenues of the district, offering over 1,800 linear meters of exhibition space. Nearly 250 exhibitors present an exceptionally rich assortment: clothing for the whole family, toys, books, tableware, small furniture, decorative items, vinyl records, trinkets, tools, sports equipment, and curiosities of all kinds. The scale of the event guarantees that bargain hunters will find rare items and great deals.

Quetigny, a Dynamic Town on the Outskirts of Dijon

Quetigny, a municipality of about 10,000 inhabitants in the Dijon metropolitan area, is known for its particularly dense network of associations. The Allées Cavalières district, developed in the 1970s-1980s, is a green residential area that hosts an active and supportive community. ADIPHAC, a neighborhood association founded to develop local initiatives, enlivens the social life of the area throughout the year, with the car boot sale being its highlight.

A Day of Entertainment and Camaraderie

Beyond the bargain hunting, the Allées Cavalières car boot sale is a true neighborhood celebration. Music, entertainment for all ages, a refreshment stand, and food accompany visitors throughout the day. The festive and family-friendly atmosphere that prevails in the aisles makes it a cherished moment of sharing, extending well beyond the neighborhood's borders. Exhibitor registrations generally open in June.
