The Azay-sur-Thouet Car Boot Sale: Treasure Hunting by the Thouet River

Azay-sur-Thouet, a small commune in the Gâtine Parthenaise, hosts its spring car boot sale every year. Exhibitors, mainly local residents, display their treasures in the village streets and squares, creating a pleasant browsing route alongside granite houses and flowered gardens.

A Village by the Thouet

Azay-sur-Thouet takes its name from the river that crosses it, the Thouet, a tributary of the Loire. The village preserves the charm of authentic rural life: Romanesque church, old farmhouses, riverside walking paths.

Everyday Objects and Unexpected Finds

Like any village car boot sale, Azay-sur-Thouet holds surprises: among the clothing, children's toys, tableware and trinkets, attentive treasure hunters may find antique objects, period farm tools, rare books or forgotten collectibles.
