August Car Boot Sales of Plougastel-Daoulas

The summer car boot sale of Plougastel-Daoulas

The month of August is traditionally a good time for car boot sales in Brittany, and Plougastel-Daoulas (29470) is no exception. Every summer, the town organizes or hosts a summer car boot sale that allows residents to sell their items before the start of the school year and tourists and holidaymakers on the peninsula to enjoy a morning of treasure hunting in this exceptional natural setting.

The Plougastel peninsula during the tourist season

In August, Plougastel-Daoulas is buzzing with the presence of many summer visitors who frequent the shores of the Brest roadstead and the numerous viewpoints offering breathtaking views of the Aulne river and the Crozon Peninsula. The car boot sale is part of this festive seasonal atmosphere, attracting locals and tourists alike in search of original souvenirs or bargains.

Items for the whole family

Like all community car boot sales in the town, this event offers a wide mix of items from individuals: children's and adult clothing, toys and beach games, books and comics, crockery, decorative items, and small furniture. Summer is also an opportunity to find outdoor leisure, hiking, or water sports equipment at reduced prices.

Plougastel-Daoulas, the strawberry peninsula

Plougastel-Daoulas is world-renowned for having acclimatized the garden strawberry (Fragaria ananassa) in Europe from the 18th century, thanks to the navigator Amédée-François Frézier who brought back plants from Chile in 1714. The Strawberry and Heritage Museum perpetuates this memory. In summer, the town enjoys a particularly lively atmosphere, with water activities, coastal hikes, and summer events.
