The Amicale Laïque is the associative structure that brings together parents of students and supporters of secular public schools. The Amicale Laïque Lamartine, attached to the school of the same name, organizes various activities throughout the year to strengthen ties between families and support educational projects.

A car boot sale in the heart of the Nazairien neighborhood

The Lamartine school is located on rue Georges Clémenceau, in the urban fabric of downtown Saint-Nazaire. This residential area, composed of apartment buildings and townhouses, is home to many families with children. Holding the car boot sale in the schoolyard and the adjacent public space creates a local buzz appreciated by the neighborhood's residents, who can walk to the event.

Pitches accessible to all

Pitches are offered at a price of 10 euros for 3 square meters. This reasonable price, combined with the school's central location, encourages participation from a wide audience. Families with children, familiar with the venue, are particularly numerous to exhibit, offering children's clothing and toys, illustrated books and board games, strollers, and childcare equipment. Visitors enter freely and for free.
