The car boot sale of Behren-les-Forbach: bargain hunting in the coal basin

The Pole d'Animation Culturelle of Behren-les-Forbach organizes a friendly car boot sale every year on the premises of the Hector Berlioz school. This spring event brings together the inhabitants of this town of nearly 10,000 people, located at the gates of Forbach in the Lorraine coal basin.

The Hector Berlioz school, setting for the car boot sale

Located on rue Saint-Blaise, the Hector Berlioz school offers versatile spaces suitable for organizing a car boot sale. Exhibitors can choose between indoor pitches with a table (8 euros), pitches under the covered playground (5 euros for 2 meters), or pitches in the courtyard (10 euros for 5 meters). This variety of options allows everyone to find the formula that suits them.

Behren-les-Forbach, town of the coal basin

Built in the 1950s-1960s to house miners' families, Behren-les-Forbach is a town with a strong identity. Its associative fabric, inherited from the mining solidarity tradition, enlivens the town throughout the year. The car boot sale organized by the Pole d'Animation Culturelle is part of this dynamic of social connection and exchange between residents.
