Chassenon Car Boot Sale and Flower Market: The Tradition of the First Sunday in May

Every first Sunday in May, the Chassenon Comité des Fêtes organizes its flagship event on the Place de l'Église: a traditional car boot sale combined with a market for seasonal flowers and plants. This original combination attracts bargain hunters and amateur gardeners alike, creating a spring-like and festive atmosphere in the heart of this historic Charente village.

A Flower Market for Gardeners

The flower market is one of the specialties of this event. Visitors can find vegetable plants, flowers, shrubs, and even seeds, as well as outdoor decoration and landscaping accessories. It's the perfect opportunity to prepare your garden for the warmer season while strolling among the car boot sale stalls.

Chassenon, a Gallo-Roman Village in Haute-Vienne

Chassenon is a remarkable village in northeastern Charente, famous for its Gallo-Roman baths of Cassinomagus, a listed Historic Monument. This major archaeological site testifies to the city's importance in Roman times. The car boot sale and flower market are held on the Place de l'Église, in the heart of the village, a short walk from these ancient remains.

Monthly Market and On-site Catering

The day is enhanced by the monthly market held simultaneously in the square, with local producers offering cheeses, wines and spirits, vegetables, eggs, and meats. The Comité des Fêtes provides catering in the barn with grills, sandwiches, crepes, and drinks. Information and registration can be done by phone at 07 69 71 00 74 or 05 45 89 29 76.
