Winter Car Boot Sales of Le Vigan

The Winter Car Boot Sales of Le Vigan, hunting in December

Who said that the good season was mandatory for hunting? In Le Vigan-en-Quercy (46300), the Vigan Culture et Animations association has set up a beautiful tradition: the Winter Car Boot Sales, which are held every December at the Espace Jean Carmet. A unique winter event in the Pays de Gourdon for second-hand lovers who don't want to wait for spring to hunt.

A winter car boot sale for the irreducible hunters

The Espace Jean Carmet offers a covered and comfortable setting to welcome exhibitors and visitors in the middle of December. The formula is simple and effective: private exhibitors set up with their items — clothes, toys, books, dishes, decorative objects — and visitors wander between the stands, enjoying a warm and friendly atmosphere that only winter can give to this type of event.

The December context gives a particular color to this car boot sale. As Christmas approaches, some hunters find gifts at low prices, while others take the opportunity to clean out their homes before the holidays and offer their items for sale. Hidden treasures are numerous and discoveries are unexpected, the absolute rule of any self-respecting car boot sale.

Vigan Culture et Animations, a player in local cultural life

The Vigan Culture et Animations association is a pillar of the cultural life of Le Vigan-en-Quercy. It organizes various events throughout the year — concerts, exhibitions, screenings — and these winter car boot sales are one of its flagship events, bringing together a large community around the shared pleasure of hunting in all seasons.
