Vide-Greniers de Girac — 23rd Edition

The Girac Car Boot Sale, 23 Years of Tradition in the Dordogne Valley

The Girac car boot sale is one of the most established events in northern Lot. Its 23rd edition confirms the attachment of residents and visitors to this event organized by the Comité des Fêtes on the village's Place de la Mairie. With around 70 exhibitors, it is one of the liveliest car boot sales in the Dordogne Valley area.

70 Exhibitors and a Giant Tartiflette

The specific feature of the Girac car boot sale lies in the gastronomic entertainment that accompanies it: a giant tartiflette is prepared on-site, making this event much more than just a simple car boot sale. While bargain hunters browse the stalls, cooks work to prepare this convivial dish that brings together exhibitors and visitors for a festive meal.

The Place de la Mairie as the Scene for Bargain Hunting

The Place de la Mairie in Girac hosts the stalls of some 70 exhibitors offering a varied range of items: reclaimed furniture, antique tableware, tools, books, clothing, toys, trinkets, and various objects. The friendly atmosphere of a village car boot sale reigns supreme, with lively discussions and pleasant negotiations between exhibitors and visitors.

A Longevity That Demonstrates the Village's Vitality

Twenty-three editions are a sign of an event well-anchored in local life. The Girac car boot sale has been part of the village's festive calendar for over two decades, mobilizing the volunteers of the Comité des Fêtes each year for its organization. This longevity testifies to the community's attachment to its traditions and its moments of shared conviviality.
