The Combleux Car Boot Sale: Flea Market by the Canal

Combleux is one of the jewels of the Loiret: a tiny village of a few hundred inhabitants, nestled on the banks of the Orléans canal and the Loire, about ten kilometers east of Orléans. Renowned for its tuffeau houses, its old Loire port, and its preserved natural landscapes, Combleux hosts a popular car boot sale every August, combining the magic of the place with the conviviality of a village flea market.

An Exceptional Natural and Heritage Setting

The Combleux car boot sale benefits from an incomparable setting. The stalls of the exhibitors stretch along the canal banks and through the village alleys, between tuffeau houses and shaded gardens. Visitors can thus combine bargain hunting with the discovery of a village of rare beauty. You can find:

• Antique furniture, chests of drawers, and period tables
• Old tableware, earthenware, and porcelain
• Decorative objects and attic knick-knacks
• Books, old postcards, and historical documents
• Old and modern toys, board games
• Vintage clothing, shoes, and accessories
• Tools, kitchen utensils, and old household equipment

Combleux, Pearl of the Loire Valley

Combleux is associated with the Loire Valley National Nature Reserve, a vast protected natural area where floodplains, backwaters, and alluvial forests coexist. This exceptional natural heritage, a UNESCO World Heritage site, gives Combleux a unique charm that car boot sale visitors can appreciate on foot or by bike during their day in the village.

An Event Supported by Local Volunteers

The Combleux car boot sale is organized by local associations with the support of the municipality. Volunteers are committed to offering a warm welcome and smooth organization, living up to the reputation of this exceptional village. The event helps to liven up local life while introducing Combleux to new visitors.
