The Ascension Car Boot Sale in Artenay, organized by JCRA

Every year, on Ascension Thursday, the town of Artenay in Loiret transforms into a huge second-hand market. The Judo Club of the Artenay Region (JCRA) has been organizing this car boot sale for many years, and it has become one of the unmissable events in the Beauce loirétaine flea market calendar. From 6 am to 6 pm, the center of Artenay buzzes with activity.
