The traditional Ascension Day street sale in Romillé, 300 exhibitors with cycling races and funfair
The Ascension Day Street Sale in Romillé is a festive event that enlivens the village every Ascension Day Thursday. Approximately 300 private sellers set up their stalls in Place des Frères Aubert and Rue de Galerne for a day of car boot sale from 8 am to 6 pm. The event stands out with its complementary activities: cycling races, a funfair, and on-site catering, making it much more than just a street sale.
Every Ascension Day Thursday, the village of Romillé comes alive for its traditional street sale. Approximately 300 private sellers set up their stalls in Place des Frères Aubert and Rue de Galerne, offering clothes, toys, books, crockery, furniture, and everyday items at attractive prices. From 8 am to 6 pm, visitors stroll through the aisles in a friendly atmosphere, taking advantage of the public holiday to hunt for bargains with their families. Entry is free for visitors.
The Romillé street sale is not limited to the stalls. Cycling races are organized in parallel, attracting cycling enthusiasts to a circuit laid out in the village streets. A funfair with rides and attractions delights children, while food stalls offer galettes-saucisses, crêpes, fries, and drinks. This unique combination of activities makes Ascension Day in Romillé a true popular festival that goes far beyond a simple car boot sale.
