Car boot sale APEL Marcel Callo of Redon

A solidarity car boot sale for the Marcel Callo school

The APEL of the Marcel Callo school in Redon organizes its annual car boot sale for the benefit of the school's educational activities. Private sellers — parents, neighborhood families, and bargain hunters — offer a wide selection of second-hand items: children's clothing, toys, books, childcare equipment, small furniture, and knick-knacks. The profits from the event (pitch fees, refreshment stand) are entirely donated to the association to finance school trips, shows, and educational projects.

Redon, crossroads of the Marches de Bretagne

Redon, a sub-prefecture of Ille-et-Vilaine, is a town of 9,500 inhabitants located at the confluence of the Vilaine and the Oust rivers, at the crossroads of three departments (Ille-et-Vilaine, Morbihan, Loire-Atlantique). A former monastic city founded around the abbey of Saint-Sauveur in the 9th century, Redon prospered thanks to river and sea trade. The town retains a rich architectural heritage: half-timbered houses in the old center, a marina, and the Romanesque cloister of the abbey church. Redon is today a dynamic center of services and community life for the entire Redon region.

The Marcel Callo school, at the heart of the Redon community

The Marcel Callo school is named after the blessed Redon native, a young resistant deported during World War II. This Catholic school educates several hundred students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The very active APEL regularly organizes events — including this car boot sale — to strengthen ties between families and support school life.
