IKEA charity car boot sales return to France in June

A much-loved event from last year is making a return.

The public turnout in 2025 was clear, so IKEA has chosen to repeat its charity car boot sales. They will take place outside selected French stores on 6 June, from 8 am to 6 pm. There is one exception: IKEA Dijon will host a second car boot sale on 13 June, running from 8 am to 5 pm.

All profits generated on the day will be donated to local charities, combining a useful purpose with an enjoyable outing. As the Swedish retailer explains on its website, a pitch costs 10 euros, with a maximum of two pitches per seller. Each pitch corresponds to a parking space measuring roughly 2.50 m.

How to take part

Taking part is straightforward. You simply need to be a member of the retailer’s loyalty programme, IKEA Family. Creating an account is free and can be done directly via its platform. You must then pay the 10-euro registration fee, which, as noted above, will not go to IKEA.

Registration deadline and seller arrival

Registration is available at this address until midnight on Wednesday 3 June. However, places are limited, so it is best to book ahead. On the day, sellers can arrive from 6 am. We hope these details will help you prepare for the event as effectively as possible.
