Car boot sale APE of Beaulieu-sur-Oudon

APE Car boot sale – Beaulieu-sur-Oudon (53410)

Every May 1st, the village of Beaulieu-sur-Oudon (53410) celebrates Labour Day in its own way by hosting the car boot sale organized by its APE (Parents' Association). This coincidence with the public holiday is ideal: families have a whole day to enjoy the second-hand market and the pleasant environment of this village in the Ernée region of Mayenne.

Beaulieu-sur-Oudon gets its name from the Oudon river that flows through it, a tributary of the Mayenne. The surrounding bocage, its hedges, its meadows, and the lazy meanders of the river create a remarkably gentle rural landscape. On May 1st, when nature is in full bloom, the setting is particularly striking for a stroll among the stalls.

The APE of Beaulieu-sur-Oudon is an association involved in the life of the school, supporting teachers' projects and enriching students' outings and activities. Its annual May 1st car boot sale has become a must-attend event on the local calendar, bringing together the villagers and bargain hunters from the Ernée and Mayenne areas.

The exhibitors, all private individuals, offer carefully selected second-hand items: crockery and tableware, clothing for all ages, toys and games, books, tools, trinkets, and decorative objects. The attics of the Mayenne bocage often hold beautiful finds, and savvy bargain hunters know the value of these discreet rural car boot sales.

On-site catering, managed by APE volunteers, allows for a pleasant extension of the day. Entry is free for visitors, and the event takes place in a warm and family-friendly atmosphere typical of Mayenne festivals.
