Spring community car boot sale in the heart of the Conflent, on the Vinça promenade facing Saint-Julien church
The Vinça Gym Volontaire Car Boot Sale is an essential spring event for bargain hunters in the Conflent region. Organized by the local sports association, it brings together around sixty private exhibitors on the village promenade, facing the magnificent Saint-Julien-et-Sainte-Basilisse church. The proceeds help fund the association's gymnastics activities. A friendly atmosphere is guaranteed in this Catalan village nestled at the foot of the Canigou.
Every spring, the Vinça Gym Volontaire association organizes its traditional car boot sale on the village promenade, one of the most picturesque sites in the Conflent. Around sixty private exhibitors unpack their treasures from dawn: clothes, toys, books, tableware, trinkets, small furniture, decorative and collectible items. The event attracts bargain hunters and walkers from neighboring villages such as Ille-sur-Têt, Prades, Marquixanes and Baillestavy.
The car boot sale takes place on the promenade facing the remarkable Saint-Julien-et-Sainte-Basilisse church, an 11th-12th century Romanesque building listed as a Historic Monument. Its medieval frescoes, baroque altarpiece, and bell tower make it one of the jewels of the Conflent's religious heritage.
Nestled beside the Vinça lake and at the foot of the sacred Canigou massif (2,784 m), Vinça is known for its weekly market and heritage. The village also produces excellent fruits (peaches, apricots, cherries) thanks to its privileged Mediterranean climate.
The Vinça Gym Volontaire Car Boot Sale returns on Sunday, April 12, 2026 from 8 AM to 2 PM on the promenade facing Saint-Julien church. About 60 exhibitors. €2 per meter. Free entry.
