29th Car Boot Sale of the APE of Corzé

The 29th Car Boot Sale of the APE of Corzé

With 29 editions, the car boot sale of the APE de Corzé is an institution in the flea market calendar of Maine-et-Loire. Every year in October, over 300 exhibitors take over the town for a day of treasure hunting that attracts enthusiasts from all over the Angers region. This autumn event, with its golden colours and end-of-season atmosphere, has built a solid reputation and a loyal following over the years.

The Association des Parents d'Élèves dedicates the proceeds of the event to financing school activities in the commune. Over nearly three decades, thousands of euros have been invested in educational projects, school trips, teaching materials, and artistic activities for the children of Corzé's schools.

The 300 exhibitors offer a varied and quality selection: antique and second-hand furniture, tableware and table arts, books and documents, old toys and games, clothing and accessories, tools and small hardware, trinkets and collector's items, records and audiovisual media. The presence of many professional exhibitors guarantees a consistent level of quality and finds for all tastes.

Twenty-nine years of an autumn gathering

Twenty-nine uninterrupted editions testify to the solidity of the organization and the community's attachment to this event. The APE de Corzé can be proud of having created and maintained for nearly three decades one of the largest car boot sales in Maine-et-Loire. The volunteers, renewed over generations of parents, have successfully passed on the enthusiasm and know-how necessary for the success of such an event.

Corzé, a commune in the north-east of Angers

Corzé (49140) is a commune in Maine-et-Loire located in the north-east of the department, about twenty kilometers from Angers. This rural town in the Angers bocage benefits from a favourable geographical position, accessible from Angers, Baugé, and La Flèche. Its Romanesque church and its Château de la Roche bear witness to a rich medieval past. The car boot sale held in October fits perfectly into the agricultural and festive calendar of this commune, which knows how to combine tradition and associative dynamism.
