Car boot sale APE Sainte-Marie de Louverné

Car boot sale APE Sainte-Marie – Louverné (53950) – September

Every September, the Sainte-Marie Parents' Association (APE) organizes its annual car boot sale in Louverné (53950). This back-to-school event has become a must-attend for families in the town and surrounding areas, combining conviviality, bargain hunting, and support for local Catholic education.

Louverné is a peri-urban town in the Laval agglomeration, located north of the Mayenne prefecture. Well-connected to the roads serving Laval, it welcomes a population of families attracted by the peaceful living environment of this town while remaining close to the city's facilities. The Sainte-Marie school is a pillar of local educational life.

The APE Sainte-Marie is the association that brings together parents of students from the school of the same name. As in many Catholic schools in France, the APE organizes festive events throughout the school year to fund educational projects, school trips, equipment, or extracurricular activities. The September car boot sale is one of the flagship events of this initiative.

The September period is particularly conducive to this type of event: the school year has just begun, families are renewing their children's wardrobes and getting rid of clothes that have become too small, toys abandoned in favor of new interests, books already read. The car boot sale offers an ideal solution for giving these items a second life while earning a little pocket money.

Visitors will find an eclectic selection of items: children's and adult clothing, childcare items and baby toys, toys and board games, school and extracurricular books, sports equipment, crockery, and small appliances. Light refreshments are usually available to allow families to spend a morning or a whole day on site.
