Braderie du Château – Les Amis de la Cité

The Château Street Sale by Les Amis de la Cité

The association Les Amis de la Cité organizes its Braderie du Château on the Promenade du Bout du Monde, a magnificent tree-lined avenue along the Maine river at the foot of the Doutre district. This neighborhood event, rich in history and conviviality, brings together exhibitors and visitors in one of Angers' most picturesque settings.

The street sale allows everyone to clear out their closets and cellars by offering clothes, books, furniture, dishes, toys, and various items at affordable prices. The event reflects the values of sharing and circular economy promoted by the association, while creating a festive moment for the neighborhood's residents and visitors.

The Promenade du Bout du Monde, an exceptional setting

The Promenade du Bout du Monde is one of the most beautiful promenades in Angers. This shaded avenue runs along the Maine river, facing the Saint-Aubin island, offering a magnificent view of the river and the natural banks. At the end of the promenade, the silhouette of the Château d'Angers dominates the landscape. This exceptional natural and heritage setting gives the street sale a unique atmosphere, far removed from ordinary urban events.

The Doutre district is one of the oldest and most charming in Angers. Its medieval streets, half-timbered houses, and hidden gardens make it a popular area for walkers. The annual street sale helps to liven up this historic district and strengthen the social bond among its inhabitants.

Les Amis de la Cité, an association for Angers' heritage

The association Les Amis de la Cité works to promote and preserve the architectural and historical heritage of Angers, particularly in the Doutre district and around the castle. Its commitment to local community life is reflected in the organization of this annual street sale, a festive and popular event that contributes to the vitality of this emblematic district.
