Brocante Vide-Grenier Diwan de Dinan

A car boot sale at the foot of Dinan's ramparts

The Brocante Vide-Grenier Diwan de Dinan takes place twice a year on the Promenade des Petits Fossés, a remarkable site located at the foot of Dinan Castle and its medieval ramparts. Organized by the Kuzul association for the benefit of the Diwan school of Dinan, this car boot sale hosts between 50 and 100 private exhibitors offering a wide selection of items: clothing, games, crockery, plants, and various articles.

The Diwan school, guardian of the Breton language

The Diwan school of Dinan is part of the network of Diwan schools, immersive institutions in the Breton language. The car boot sale is one of the main sources of funding for the Kuzul association, which supports the school's operation. By participating in this event, visitors and exhibitors directly contribute to the preservation and transmission of the Breton language to younger generations.

Dinan, an exceptional medieval city

Perched on a rocky promontory overlooking the Rance river, Dinan is one of Brittany's most beautiful medieval towns. Its ramparts, its 14th-century castle, its half-timbered houses, and its cobbled streets attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. The Promenade des Petits Fossés, which runs along the fortifications, offers a unique setting for bargain hunting while enjoying a panorama of the town and the surrounding countryside.

Breton catering on site

The volunteers of the Kuzul association provide friendly catering throughout the day: sausage crepes, crepes, fries, homemade cakes, and drinks. This festive and gourmet atmosphere contributes to the event's success and the neighborhood's conviviality.
