16th Car boot sale Amis du SSFC — Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire

The 16th Amis du SSFC Car Boot Sale in Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire

Every June, the Stade René Massé in Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire hosts the car boot sale organized by the Amis du SSFC, the Saint-Sébastien Football Club. This sixteenth edition confirms the lasting presence of this event in the sporting and associative calendar of the town. Exhibitors and visitors gather for a day of second-hand goods in the sporting setting of the boulevard des Pas Enchantés, for the benefit of the local football club.

Sixteen editions of a sporting and popular tradition

Reaching the sixteenth edition of a car boot sale is a testament to a rich associative history and the loyal support of the inhabitants. The Amis du SSFC have organized this event with the same enthusiasm and determination for sixteen years, mobilizing volunteers and supporters to make this day a sporting and social success. The Stade René Massé, usually the playing field for SSFC teams, is transformed for the occasion into a large second-hand market.

Stade René Massé, from the football pitch to the flea market stalls

The Stade René Massé, located at 1 boulevard des Pas Enchantés, is the stronghold of the Saint-Sébastien Football Club. For this annual car boot sale, its spaces – stands, car park, surroundings of the pitch – are rearranged to accommodate exhibitors' stalls. This temporary transformation of the club's living space into a second-hand market illustrates the versatility of sports facilities and the ability of amateur football clubs to imagine diverse events to support their activities.

Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire, a dynamic town in the South of the Loire

This June car boot sale is one of those initiatives that make Saint-Sébastien-sur-Loire a lively and committed town for its inhabitants.
