Car boot sale APE du Puy-Notre-Dame

Car Boot Sale APE du Puy-Notre-Dame

The APE du Puy-Notre-Dame — Parents' Association — organizes its annual car boot sale in this medieval village of Saumurois (49260) every year. With around 35 exhibitors, the event has an intimate and family-friendly dimension, typical of village car boot sales in rural Anjou.

The setting of Puy-Notre-Dame is exceptional: dominated by the majestic 13th-15th century Gothic collegiate church, one of the most beautiful religious buildings in Maine-et-Loire, the village offers a remarkable historical backdrop to this day of treasure hunting. Exhibitors set up in the square or in the streets of the medieval village, between tufa stone and vineyards.

The 35 exhibitors offer the classics of a car boot sale: clothing and accessories, books and magazines, toys and board games, crockery and tableware, decorative objects and trinkets, small furniture. The profits are donated to the village school's activities.
