30th Amis de Bergon Car Boot Sale — Missillac

The 30th Amis de Bergon Car Boot Sale in Missillac

The Amis de Bergon car boot sale in Missillac reaches a symbolic milestone with its 30th edition. For three decades, this popular event has brought together between 200 and 300 exhibitors every April in the Salle des Amis de Bergon, 25 rue du Dolmen. A remarkable longevity that testifies to the vitality of the organizing association and the attachment of the inhabitants of the Pays de Pontchâteau to this spring event.

Missillac, between bocage and ponds of the Pays de Pontchâteau

Missillac is a rural commune in the north of Loire-Atlantique, in the Pays de Pontchâteau, between Brière and the Breton bocage. Its territory is marked by the presence of numerous ponds and bodies of water that enrich the ecology and landscape of this corner of Loire-Atlantique. The commune is particularly known for the Château de la Bretèche, a historic monument surrounded by ponds, making it one of the most beautiful landscapes in the department. In this remarkable setting, the Amis de Bergon association has contributed to the social and cultural life of the commune for thirty years.

Les Amis de Bergon, thirty years of associative commitment

The Amis de Bergon association — whose name perhaps evokes a local place or figure — organized its first car boot sale thirty years ago. This exceptional longevity is the result of constant volunteer commitment, year after year, from members who have kept this popular event alive. The 30th edition is an opportunity to celebrate this loyalty and pay tribute to all the men and women who have contributed, over the decades, to making this car boot sale one of the unmissable events in the Pays de Pontchâteau.

A major event

With 200 to 300 exhibitors, this car boot sale is among the largest in the northern Loire-Atlantique region. Organized in the Salle des Amis de Bergon — a covered space that protects from spring weather hazards —, it offers participants optimal comfort. The long opening hours, from 8 am to 7 pm, allow visitors to make the most of the day to browse through the many stalls filled with clothing, books, toys, crockery, and various objects.

Prices and registration details

Exhibitors register at a rate of €3 per linear meter, with a minimum of 6 meters. This formula guarantees pitches of a sufficient minimum size to display a quality selection while maintaining an accessible price. The well-established organization of the Amis de Bergon, the result of thirty years of experience, ensures exhibitors professional welcome and optimal participation conditions.
