Bréhalaise Football Car Boot Sale

Bréhalaise Football Car Boot Sale

The Bréhalaise Football Club car boot sale is held annually at the Stade Martial Watrin in Bréhal (50290), the municipal sports facility that usually hosts the local club's matches. This event is one of the main fundraising events for the Bréhal sports association.

The sellers, mainly individuals from the Bréhal canton and neighboring towns on the west coast of the Cotentin, offer the usual finds of Norman car boot sales: clothing of all sizes, shoes, crockery and tableware, toys and games for children, books and comics, decorative objects, small furniture and antiques, vinyl records and cassettes, sports and leisure equipment. The stadium's sports area offers a generous space allowing for numerous outdoor stands.

The Bréhal football club is one of the pillars of local sports life in this seaside town in southern Cotentin. The car boot sale illustrates the Norman tradition of organizing popular events by sports clubs to finance their season. Volunteers and players work together to organize this friendly day open to all.
