4th MCEN Car Boot Sale — Saint-Nazaire

The MCEN Car Boot Sale: Mölkky Funds its Passion

Every August, the Mölkky Club de l'Estuaire Nazairien (MCEN) organizes its car boot sale at the Parc Paysager bowling green in Saint-Nazaire (44600). Mölkky is a very popular Finnish throwing game in France, consisting of knocking down numbered pins with a wooden stick. The Saint-Nazaire club, passionate about this friendly and accessible game, has found an effective way to finance its activities by organizing car boot sales.

An Ideal Bowling Green for Summer Bargain Hunting

The Parc Paysager bowling green is a well-known spot for locals in Saint-Nazaire. This green park, with its many plant species, offers a pleasant setting for strolling and bargain hunting in the summer. The bowling green, with its shaded area and well-defined spaces, can accommodate exhibitors and their various stalls in good conditions.

Prices and Registration for Exhibitors

Individuals wishing to exhibit at the MCEN car boot sale can register for a fee between 12 and 14 euros per pitch. This reasonable price, in line with the standards of associative car boot sales in the region, allows many individuals to participate and clear out their closets while supporting the organizing club.

Mölkky, a Unifying Sport in Saint-Nazaire

Created in Finland in the 1990s, mölkky has become in a few decades one of the most practiced outdoor games in France. Regional, national, and even international championships take place every year. The MCEN, with its passionate members, participates in the sporting and associative life of Saint-Nazaire. Its annual car boot sale is both a festive event open to all and a source of funding for travel, equipment, and competition registration fees.
