Braderie du Basket de Saint-Thurial

The Saint-Thurial basketball club's street sale

The Saint-Thurial basketball club organizes its annual street sale in the heart of this rural commune in the Pays de Brocéliande. Exhibitors — players, families, and residents — offer a wide selection of second-hand items: clothing, shoes, toys, books, trinkets, sports equipment, small furniture, and various bric-a-brac. The profits from the event (stand fees, refreshments, catering) are entirely donated to the club to fund sports equipment, licenses, and team travel.

Saint-Thurial, a village in Brocéliande

Saint-Thurial is a commune of about 2,000 inhabitants located 25 km west of Rennes, in the Montfort Communauté intercommunal structure. The village is nestled in the Breton hedgerow landscape, at the gates of the legendary Brocéliande forest (Paimpont forest). Local heritage includes the Saint-Thuriau parish church, restored washhouses, and a network of hiking trails winding through fields and hedgerows. Community life is dynamic, with the basketball club being one of the pillars of local activity.

Sport and Breton conviviality

The Saint-Thurial basketball street sale is more than just a car boot sale: it's a village festival in its own right. Club players manage the stalls, the refreshment stand offers sausage galettes and crêpes, and musical entertainment completes the program. Admission is free.
