A Central Location in Saint-Étienne-de-Montluc

The site at 11 rue Lamennais, in the heart of Saint-Étienne-de-Montluc, is a well-served and easily accessible space for exhibitors and visitors.

Saint-Étienne-de-Montluc, Gateway to the Guérande Peninsula

Saint-Étienne-de-Montluc is a commune in the northwest of Loire-Atlantique, between the north bank of the Loire and the first horizons of the Guérande peninsula. A rapidly growing commune, it benefits from a privileged geographical location between Nantes, Saint-Nazaire, and Guérande, attracting families seeking a quality residential living environment. Its associative life reflects this demographic dynamism: dense, varied, and driven by committed volunteers, of whom ALSEM is one of the emblematic figures.

ALSEM, a Centenary Association Serving the Common Good

The Amicale Laïque de Saint-Étienne-de-Montluc is one of the oldest and most active associations in the commune. True to the secular values of sharing, popular education, and conviviality, it organizes various events throughout the year that bring residents together around common projects. Its September car boot sale is its flagship event, demonstrating its deep roots in local life and its ability to mobilize hundreds of participants.

160 Well-Organized Pitches

The standardization of pitches at 4 meters by 2.5 meters (€14 each) allows for rigorous and equitable organization for all exhibitors. This modular space facilitates the setup of the circulation plan and guarantees each exhibitor sufficient space to present their items in good conditions. Visitors benefit from well-marked aisles to move comfortably between the 160 stands overflowing with clothes, toys, books, furniture, tableware, and objects of all kinds.
