Car Boot Sales at the Grands Marchés Couverts de Beaucaire

Every spring, from March to April, the Grands Marchés Couverts in Beaucaire host a series of car boot sales in their covered facilities located on the Route de Saint-Gilles. These events take place over several consecutive weekends, allowing exhibitors to offer their items for one or two days in a setting protected from the weather.

A covered and secure site, ideal for exhibitors

The unique feature of the Grands Marchés Couverts is their permanent structure which allows exhibitors to set up their stand on Friday evening from 5 PM and leave it in place until the next day, on a fully secured site. This practical arrangement appeals to many sellers who can prepare their display with peace of mind. Visitors benefit from light catering on-site and restrooms. Admission is priced at €12 for one day or €20 for two days.

Beaucaire, a historic crossroads of southern trade

Beaucaire is a town whose history is intimately linked to trade. Its Foire de la Madeleine, held every summer in the 17th and 18th centuries, was one of the largest trade fairs in Europe, attracting merchants from all over the Mediterranean. Labeled a City of Art and History, Beaucaire preserves an exceptional heritage with 51 historical monuments. The spring car boot sales are naturally part of this long commercial tradition that defines the town's identity.
