The car boot sale on August 15th in Saint-Pierre-de-Côle

Every August 15th, the village of Saint-Pierre-de-Côle hosts its annual car boot sale organized by the Comité des fêtes. This popular event brings together locals and summer visitors in the village streets for a day of treasure hunting and conviviality in Périgord Vert.

Free pitches: an appreciated feature

One of the remarkable features of the Saint-Pierre-de-Côle car boot sale is the complete freeness of the pitches. This generous policy, decided by the Comité des fêtes, encourages the participation of as many people as possible and guarantees an abundant offering on the stalls. Crockery, trinkets, tools, clothing, books, and everyday objects are piled high on trestle tables, much to the delight of bargain hunters.

Meal tray at noon

A meal tray is offered at noon by the Comité des fêtes, allowing visitors and exhibitors to eat on-site without leaving the event. This catering service contributes to the friendly atmosphere of the day and encourages bargain hunters to extend their visit into the afternoon.

The Côle valley, an emerald setting in Périgord Vert

Saint-Pierre-de-Côle is located in the Côle valley, a tributary of the Dronne, in the heart of Périgord Vert. The commune is adjacent to Saint-Jean-de-Côle, listed among the most beautiful villages in France, known for its priory, its Château de la Marthonie, and its medieval bridge. Visitors to the car boot sale can extend their excursion by discovering this remarkable village, just a few kilometers away. The Château de Bruzac, a ruined medieval fortress, completes the heritage offerings of this green and hilly region.
