Car boot sale of the Amicale Laïque of L'Huisserie

Car boot sale of the Amicale Laïque of L'Huisserie

Every spring in May, the town of L'Huisserie (53970) hosts the Car boot sale of the Amicale Laïque. Organized by the local secular association, this event brings together exhibitors and visitors in a friendly and family atmosphere typical of events run by such associations.

L'Huisserie is a town in the southwest of the Laval agglomeration, on the banks of the Jouanne river. A developing residential town, it shares the same postal code (53970) as Montigné-le-Brillant. This geographical and administrative proximity to a town known for its large car boot sale (the Largest VG in Mayenne) does not prevent L'Huisserie from offering its own event, rooted in the tradition of its secular association.

The amicales laïques (secular associations) have played an important historical role in the associative and social life of French towns, particularly in regions with a strong secular tradition. In Mayenne, as elsewhere, they have managed to maintain and renew themselves, offering cultural, sporting, and festive activities. The annual car boot sale is often one of their flagship events, bringing together members and villagers in a spirit of simple and friendly celebration.

The offerings at the L'Huisserie car boot sale are typical of neighborhood and village events: clothing and accessories of all sizes, toys and board games, books and comics, dishes and kitchenware, light furniture, trinkets, and decorative objects. Prices remain very affordable, in the open and popular spirit of the secular association.
