The APE Bellebranche car boot sale in Écouflant, Sarthe riverbanks and guinguette, near Angers
The APE Bellebranche — Association des Parents d'Élèves de l'école Bellebranche — organizes its annual car boot sale in Écouflant (49000), a town on the banks of the Sarthe river on the northern outskirts of Angers. The particularity and charm of this event lie in its setting: the Sarthe riverbanks and the presence of a guinguette for the occasion.
The guinguette, a popular tradition on riverbanks, gives this car boot sale a festive and relaxed atmosphere that is not found in urban events. Families settle in for the day, enjoying the site, the musical and convivial entertainment of the guinguette, before or after browsing the flea market stalls.
Exhibitors offer the classics of a car boot sale: children's and adult clothing, books and educational games, toys, bicycles and sports equipment, crockery and household items, furniture and decoration, trinkets and curiosities. The profits from the event contribute to the financing of school activities and educational projects of the Bellebranche school.
Écouflant is a commune in Maine-et-Loire bordered by the river Sarthe, immediately north of Angers. Its location on the riverbank gives it attractive landscapes, between floodplains and riverside woods. The commune has an active associative fabric and a good quality of life, appreciated by families from Angers.
