30th Saint-Lazare Car Boot Sale

The 30th Saint-Lazare Car Boot Sale in Angers

With its 30th edition, the Saint-Lazare Car Boot Sale stands out as one of the oldest and most loyal flea market events in the Angers neighborhood of the same name. Organized on Rue Saint-Lazare, this annual car boot sale demonstrates the residents' attachment to this popular tradition, which brings together neighborhood exhibitors and bargain hunters from across the metropolitan area each year.

Thirty years of flea markets on the same street is a story: that of a neighborhood that comes together, of objects that change hands, of shared encounters and memories. The car boot sale has become a local institution, eagerly awaited each year by regular exhibitors and loyal visitors.

Rue Saint-Lazare, in the eponymous neighborhood

Rue Saint-Lazare is located in the Saint-Lazare district of Angers, a residential area east of the city center. This neighborhood, far from the hustle and bustle of the center, retains a village-like character with its local shops, schools, and associations. The annual car boot sale plays a role in social cohesion, allowing residents to meet and share a friendly moment while practicing the circular economy.

The stalls on the street offer the usual variety of neighborhood car boot sales: clothing of all seasons and sizes, books and comics, records and tapes, old and new toys, trinkets and decorative objects, crockery and utensils, tools and DIY items. The 30th edition will undoubtedly bring together long-time regulars and attract new visitors curious to participate in this anniversary event.

An Angers Tradition to Celebrate

The longevity of the Saint-Lazare Car Boot Sale—thirty years of uninterrupted presence—is remarkable at a time when many community events struggle to survive. It demonstrates the constant commitment of the organizers and the support of the neighborhood residents, who make this car boot sale an event passed down from generation to generation.
