About this Location

Facility Overview

Champagne Park and Sell is an expansive, open-air vehicle display and surface parking facility situated at 406 E Broussard Road in South Lafayette, Louisiana. Positioned along one of Lafayette Parish\'s most active east-west thoroughfares, this facility is primarily designed as an accessible vehicle marketplace and surface lot, offering drivers, local commuters, and independent private sellers prime roadside exposure. Because it is an open-air surface lot without covered decks or low-hanging ceiling pipes, there are no vertical clearance limits. This open headroom layout makes it exceptionally accommodating for full-size pickup trucks, commercial vans, high-roof work vans, trailers, RVs, and marine craft, in addition to standard passenger sedans and compact SUVs.

Visitor & Driver Tips

When pulling into the facility from East Broussard Road, signal early to alert trailing traffic, especially during late afternoon peak travel hours.

If you are hauling a utility trailer or driving an RV, take advantage of the wide apron entrance to maintain a wide turning radius upon arrival.
